Count T. Salvadori contributed the following description 

 of an apparently new species of Petrel {Fregetta) : — 



" The Zoological Museum of Turin possesses a Petrel 

 which was purchased at BuUock^s Sale in London in 1819 by 

 Prof. Bonelli, at that time Director of the Turin Museum. 

 The bird was stated to be from the Island of Tristan 

 d'Acunha^, and was entered in the Catalogue under the 

 number 949, but subsequently transferred to the number 

 3256. 



^' The bird was examined on the 14th of January, 1827, 

 by the Prince of Musignano (C. L. Bonaparte) , who wrongly 

 identified it as Thalassidroma oceanica, but later on (Consp. 

 Av. ii. p. 198) he attributed it to Fregetta grallaria. 



'' Under the impression that the bird was the true Pro- 

 cellaria grallaria, VieilL, I took from it the description of 

 my Fregetta grallaria in the ' Ornitologia della Papuasia e 

 delle Molucche,'' iii. p. 459, but I also mentioned that it 

 differed from the specimens of Fregetta grallaria collected 



* "It is worth while noticing that at the sale of Bullock's collection 

 in 1819 (of. Sharpe, Hist, of the Coll. of the Brit. Mus., Birds, pp. 221, 

 22:>) several birds, including Petrels, from Tristan d'Acunha were sold. 

 Lot 40 is not mentioned ; possibly the bird bought by I'rof. Bouelli may 

 have formed a part of it.'"
