PROCELLARIIDiE. 



•Vo. 27.— "Feb. 3, 1769. Lat. 57° 30'. S. Parkinson" (ink MS.). 



''Diomedea profuga. The beak black, except the back of the upper 

 mandible and part of the under one, which is dirty greenish white " (pencil 

 MS.). 



" Dtomedea profuga alis pennatis pedibus sequilibribus rostro nigro supra et infra (interdum) pallido 



maudibulee inferioris lateribus integris. Mscr.* 

 "Hab. in Oceano australi et Oceano antarctico" [Solander's MS.). 



Considered by Gray (Hand-1. iii. p. 109) to represent Diomedea chloro- 

 rhyncha, Gmelin, in which view he is probably correct. 



My determination, as far as it goes, therefore, of the sixteen species of 

 Procellariidse sketched by Parkinson in Banks's drawings, is as follows ;— 



No. 12. Procellaria oceanica 



(Bquorea 



fregata 



turtur 



velox 



gigantea 



No. 13. 



No. 14. „ 



No. 15. 



No. 16. 



No. 17. 



No. 18. 



No. 19. 



No. 20. 



No. 21. 



No. 22. 



No. 23. Nectris fuliginosa 



No. 24. „ munda 



No. 25. Diomedea exidans 



No. 26. „ antarctica 



No. 27. „ profuga 



}= 



fuliginosa = 

 sandaliata = 

 lugens 



}= 



Oceanites oceanicus (Kuhl). 

 Pelagodroma marina (Lath.). 

 Fregata grallaria (Vieill.). 

 Prion turtur (Kuhl) . 

 Halobcsna ccerulea (Gm.) ?? 



Ossifraga gigantea (Gm.). 



Majaqueus cequinociialis (L.). 

 CEstrelata arminjoniana, Gigl. & Salvad. 



„ sp. inc. 



Puffinus griseus (Gm.). 



„ sp. inc. 

 Diomedea exulans (L.). 



„ fuliginosa, Gm. ? 



-„ chlororhyncha, Gm. 



In conclusion, I must record my thanks to Dr. Gunther for his kindness 

 in allowing me freely to consult both Banks's drawings and Solander's 

 manuscripts, which are now in the Department of the British Museum 

 under his charge. Concerning the manuscripts, I hope to have more to 

 say on another occasion.
