 Cunha. 



6. Larus dominicanus, Licht. 



7. Megalestris cintar etica (Lesson). 



8. Oceanites océaniens (Kühl.). 



9. Cymodroma grallaria (Vieillot). A Petrel seen and 

 secured along with the former, and not known at Tristan da 

 Cunha. 



10. Pujinus assimilis (Gould) . Two captured by Dr. Pirie 

 in a hole, being detected by croaking. 



11 . Priofinus cinereus (Gmelin) . Many were seen and taken. 



12. Majaqueus aequinoctialis (Linn.). A large black Petrel. 



13. Oestrelata mollis (Gould). " Black backed petrels," 

 sometimes called "Paddy linker." 



14. 0. lessoni (Garnot). "Mutton bird." 



15. Ossifraga gigantea (Gmelin). Nelly or Giant Petrel — 

 all of a dark hue. 



16. Prion vittatus (Gmelin). The blue Whale bird. 



17. Prion desolatus (Gmelin). 



18. Pelecanoides urinatrix (Gmelin). Only previously ob- 

 tained in the South Atlantic, and at the Falkland Islands. 



19. Diomedea exulans (Linn.). The Wandering Albatros ; 

 many seen. 



20. Thalassogeron eximius (Verrill). Similar to T. chloro- 

 rhynchus. 



21. Diomedea melanophrys, Temm. This record Mr. 

 Eagle Clarke thinks doubtful ; it may have been Thalassogeron 

 eximius. 



22. Thalassogeron, sp. inc. This bird is of great interest 

 since it does not entirely agree with the description of any 

 known species. It was captured sitting among herbage. 



The Hon. Walter Rothschild and Dr. Hartert say that it 

 resembles T. carteri of N.W. Australia. 



23. Phoebetria /uliginosa (Gmelin). The sooty Albatros 

 with a yellow stripe on the bill and uniform brown plumage. 



24. Phoebetria comicoides, Hutton. Marked like a hooded 

 Crow with a blue stripe on its beak. The more southern form 

 which probably breeds on the Sandwich Islands.
