 JDiomedea chlororhyncha^ Coues, Pr. Phil. Acad. 1866, p. 185. 



Ad, similis D. melanophryi, sed rostro nigro, culmine cum ungue et macula parv& ad basin mandibulse posits 



Isete flavis : pedibus cyanescenti-albis. 



Adult. Plumage similar to that of D. melanophrys. Bill black, with the culmen and hook, and a basal 

 spot on the lower mandible yellow ; legs and feet bluish white. Total length 32'5 inches ; wing, from 

 flexure, 19*5; tail 8; bill, following the curvature of upper mandible 5*4, from gape to extremity of 

 lower mandible 5 j tarsus 3 ; middle toe and claw 4' 25. 



Theee is a specimen of this Albatros in the Auckland Museum; and Dr. Crosbie, of H.M.S. 

 ^ Virago/ showed me the head of another. Both of these, as I am informed, were obtained off 

 the New-Zealand coast, although the proper range of the species appears to lie in more northern 

 latitudes.
