The following are the dimensions of the adult specimen : — total 

 length 8*5 inches, culmen 0"75, wing 4*9, tail 1-7, tarsus 1. These 

 measurements exceed those of the specimens already in the Museum 

 from the Straits of Magellan, and appear to be intermediate between 

 the ordinary P. urinatrix and the larger P. garnoti, which, after all, 

 does not seem to be a very distinct species.
