PROCELLARIIDtE. 237 



during the voyage of the ' Magenta ' should perhaps bear the name of 

 P. munda. They give their bird, however, the title of P. elegans. In so 

 doing they were, I think, fully justified ; for even if it could be proved to be 

 the same as P. munda, the description given of the drawing by Kuhl (Beitr. 

 p. 148) is by no means sufficient for the recognition of the species. 



The application of the name Procellaria munda must still remain in 

 doubt. Solander's brief diagnosis, given above, may help to its ultimate 

 recognition.

''Diomedea antarctica. The bill entirely black ; the iris of the eyes 

 yellow-brown, the pupil black ; the skin that goes along the beak from the 

 head pale violet coloured, clouded with pale brown " (pencil MS.).

A pencil drawing, not recognizable with certainty. Bonaparte (Consp. ii. 

 p. 186) considers that it refers to Diomedea fuliginosa, Gmelin ; and in this 

 he may be right.
