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 uF!. nivosus, but like it has 

 white lores. He also refers to the rusty hind head and neck. 



" It appears to be the South-American representative oi jF. rufi- 

 capillus, which inhabits the coasts of Australia, Tasmania, and 

 occasionally New Zealand."
