Nos. 4 & 5.] THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD 111 



In the preceding List there are a few alterations which 

 need explanation. 



Eudyptes schlegeli Finsch 1876 

 Macaroni Penguin 

 This must be referred to the family Spheniscidas, and not to 

 the Aptenodytidse where it appeared, while the vernacular 

 name of Eudyptes serresianus Oustalet should be : " YeUow- 

 crested Penguin." This must be added, as it will be seen 

 from the photograph provided by Hull (Rec. Austr. Mus., 

 Vol. XIL, pi. XI., fig. 2, 1918) and description given by Dove 

 (Ibis, 1915, p. 87) and reprinted by Hull, p. 73, that the 

 specimen there dealt with from Devonport, Tasmania, is 

 referable to the above species and does not belong to either 

 of the other crested Penguins. It is in immature plumage, 

 and when adult the crest shows yellow feathers on the fore- 

 head, but in any case this species is larger than the others. 



AdamastoT cinereus (Gmehn 1789) 

 Brown Petrel 

 Prioflniis was introduced for " cinerea Forst., cequinocticdis 

 Edw., etc., and arctica ? " Pr. cinerea Forst. is not P. cinerea 

 Gmel., as Bonaparte pointed out when he proposed Adamastor 

 (see Comptes Rendus Acad. Sci. Paris, Vol. XLIIL, pp. 994-996, 

 footnotes, 1856). Gray gave cinerea Gmehn as type, and 

 this has been followed by most writers, e.g., Amer. U. Check 

 List, 3rd ed., p. 54, 1910, but this is incorrect, so we have 

 designated cequinoctialis Edw., etc., that is cequinoctialis 

 Linne 1758 as type, and Prioflnus will become a synonym 

 of Procellaria. 



Hypoleucus perthi Mathews 1912 

 Pied Cormorant 

 This becomes the species name, as we find the New Zealand 

 species H. varius Gmehn 1789 to be quite distinct when fully 

 plumaged birds, which are rare, are compared. 



Hcematopus unicolor Forster 1844 

 Black Oystercatcher 

 This name must be revived, as H. niger Temminck 1820 

 proves to be invalid through the prior introduction of Scolopax
