May 1830. ZOOLOGICAL REMARKS. 359 
viously observed near the Strait, Lieutenant Skyring and his 
party saw few living creatures. One novelty which Mr. Bynoe 
gave me was a splendid corvorant, which, being quite new, 
and the most beautiful of the genus, I named Phalacrocorax 
Imperialis.* 
T also received a species of swan, quite distinct from the 
common one of the Strait, which has been long known as the 
black-necked swan (Anser nigricollis of Ind. Orn., ii. 834; 
and Latham, x. 223). Considering it an undescribed species, 
it was named Cygnus anatodoides.+- 
Several deer were seen, but none obtained. There is reason, 
however, to suppose them to be of a novel species. The horns 
are short and straight. 
* Phal: capite cristato, collo posteriori, corporeque supra intensé pur- 
purets ; alis scapularibusque viridi-atris ; remigibus rectricibusque duodecim 
Jusco-atris ; corpore subtus, fascia alarum maculdque dorsi medii sericeo- 
albis ; rostro nigro; pedibus flavescentibus. Staluria Phal. Carbonis, 
It was found in the Inner Sounds, within the ‘Ancon sin Salida,”— 
Proceed. of the Zool. Society, vol.i.; also Phil. Magazine, for March 
1831, p. 227. 
+ C. albus remigibus primariis ad apicem nigris, rostro pedibusque rubris, 
allo lato subdepresso. Molina describes a Chilian duck thus. Anas Cosco- 
roba—A. rostro extremo dilatato rotundato, corpore aibo, but I do not think 
it is the same as my specimen; certainly it is not Anser Candidus of 
Veillos, the ganso blanco of D’Azara, which the author of the Dict. 
D’Hist. Nat. (xxiii. 331.) supposes to be the same as A. Coscoroba (id. 
p- 332). Molina’s description is very short, and does not mention the 
tips of the primary wing feathers being black.
