49. Procellaria leucoptera, Gould. 

 Native name Laguna-kikina, Hiibner. 

 One specimen. 



On this Mr. Salvin also gives me the following kind remarks : — 

 " Your specimen from Duke-of-York Island is certainly (Estrelata 

 leucoptera, Gould, of which I have a typical specimen, obtained from 

 Gould himself. Your bird is slightly clearer, greyer on the back and 

 rump, and has a more slender bill at the base, the difference being 

 very little indeed." 



The well-marked dark (nearly black) cross band on the rump, 

 which Prof. Schlegel does not mention, induced me to believe it 

 might be new ; but as our first authority with respect to Procel- 

 lariidce tells me that T am wrong, I cannot do better than follow 

 him,
