Mr. Seebohm has kindly determined these specimens, and sends 
me the subjoined remarks :— 
«* Although Cabanis gives no locality, nor mentions the colour of 
the legs and feet, there can be no doubt that his name refers to this 
species. He says it is a larger bird than 4. nivosus, but like it has 
white lores. He also refers to the rusty hind head and neck. 
“Tt appears to be the South-American representative of 4. rufi- 
capillus, which inhabits the coasts of Australia, Tasmania, and 
occasionally New Zealand.”
