MR. H. SAUNDERS ON THE LARIN^E. 



[Feb. 5, 



shows the pattern of an old L. novcB-hollandiee, obtained in Tasmania 

 by Capt. V. Legge, R.A., and, if compared with fig. 4 (p. 188), will 

 show the difference between this species and old L. scopulinus. 



27. Larus scopulinus, Forst. (Fig. 4.) 



Larus scopulinus, Forster, Descr. Anim. p. 106 (1844), New 

 Zealand; Schlegel, M. P.-Bas, Lari, p. 28 (1863); Finsch, J. f. 

 Orn. 1870, p. 360 ; Buller, B. of N. Zeal. p. 273 (1873). 



Three first primaries of L. scopulinus, old. 



Larus nov<E-hollandice, Gray, Voy. Ereb. & Terr. Birds, p. 18 

 (1844), New Zealand (nee Stephens). 



Lestris scopulinus, Ellman, Zoologist, 1861, p. 74/2. 



Hab. New Zealand. 



Under the head of the preceding species I have pointed out the 

 differences which seem to me to separate this form from L. nova- 

 hollandice ; but the drawing (p. 1 88) of the first primaries of an old 

 bird will show the principal point of distinction better than any 

 description.
