Dr. Godman’s detailed description of the type of Gstrelata 
wortheni Rothschild tallies so well with two specimens of P. 
parvirostris from Christmas Island (Nos. 67317 and 67331 
U. S. Nat. Mus.) that I am constrained to place “CE. worth- 
ent’ in the synonymy of P. parvirosiris. Singularly, Dr. 
Godman’s description of P. parvirostris agrees rather closely 
with his description of “GE. worthent.””* 
The type of “CGE. worthent”’ was taken in latitude 3° S., 
longitude 118° 45’ W. on January 2, 1901, by Mr. R. H. 
Beck” I know of no other instance of the occurrence of the 
present species in the sea area under consideration. 
No. 67317 U. S. Nat. Mus.: Wing 282 mm.; tail 111; 
culmen 28; depth of upper mandible 10; width of upper 
mandible 12.5; tarsus 32.1; middle toe and claw 45.5. 
No. 67331 U. S. Nat. Mus.: Wing 285 mm.; tail 112; 
culmen 28; depth of upper mandible 10; width of upper 
_ mandible 12.1; tarsus 32.5; middle toe and claw 46.

In the run northwards, Mr. R. H. Beck shot four males and 
three females on November 19, 1906, in latitude 35° 40’ N., 
longitude 133° 10’ and 14’ W. Mr. Gifford states in his notes 
that five or six were seen on the 18th of November, one or two 
on the 20th, two on the 21st, two or three on the 22nd, one or 
two on the 23rd, three or four on the 24th, one or two on the 
25th, and finally one on the 26th in latitude 36° 43’ N. and 
longitude 129° 31’ W. He describes the flight as rapid and 
erratic.
