PROCELLARIIDtE. 231 



was steering for the Society Islands. I have a skin of H. ccendea, from Mr. 

 Gould's voyage, labelled " In the Pacific, near Cape Horn," which would 

 therefore be from a point near that indicated on the drawing. 



The proper application of the name P. velox must continue doubtful. 



No. 17.— "Feb. 2, 1769. Lat. 59° S. S. Parkinson" (ink MS.). 

 " Procellaria gigantea " (pencil MS.^. 



No. 18.—" Dec. 23, 1768. S. Parkinson" (ink MS.). 



" Procellaria gigantea. Mem. The feet are grey " (pencil MS.). 



The first of these drawings is an outline, in pencil ; the second a sketch, 

 coloured all but the feet. Both are referable to the well-known Ossifraga 

 gigantea. 



Solander's MS. concerning this species is as follows ; — 



" Proc. gigantea 



" (a) tota fuliginosa rostro sordide a flavicante virescente tubo narium extra medium 

 producto. Mscr.* 

 " Pig. pict. 

 " Hab. in Oceano antaretico. 



" (/3) corpore toto cinereo subtus pallidiore rostro sordide a flavicante virescente tubo 

 narium extra medium producto. Mscr.* 

 " Fig. pict. 

 " Hab. in pelago Atlantico." 



The first of these descriptions evidently refers to Drawing No. 17 ; the 

 latter to No. 18. Both doubtless represent Ossifraga gigantea. 



No. 19.—" Feb. 2, 1769. Lat. 58°. S. Parkinson" (ink MS.). 

 " Procellaria fuliginosa " (pencil MS.). 



" Proc. fuliginosa toto fuliginosa mento albo rostro cereo suturis nigris. Mscr.* 



" Fig. pict. 



" Hab. in Oceano Antaretico et Oceano Pacifico '' [Solander's MS.).
