TWs is the first of a series of five papers in which the whole family Procellariiam are critic 

 aUy reviewed. The Petrels are divided into three subfannlies, ProcellarUnce, Dion^ea^nce, 

 and Halodrormn<^t^, first of these into the sections Procellarie<^, Puffinece, Fulmarec^ 

 Mate^anaPr^onece. Of the mode in which the genera and species are handled it xna; 

 be remarked that those actually known by specimens to the author are carefully and aatS^ 

 factonly described, and that the synonymy and criticism presented in such cases 's in tie 

 mam correct; but that the writer is not so fortunate in the instances in which he attempted 

 to supplement his own knowledge by compilation from the writings of others, he having snf 

 fered not a little from imprudence in believing Bonaparte. The foUowing 8 genera ^d 21 

 species otProceitem* or "Stormy Petrels "are treated— « ^ ana ^i
