Note: — No. 3 was described from an old specimen and the locality which was 

 given as these islands was very likely an error as it has not been taken here since. 

 No, 5 has only been described by residents of the islands. One specimen of No. 9 is 

 said by Moseley (" Notes," p. 134) to have been obtained by Yon Suhm at Tristan, but 

 Saunders, in his report on the Procellariidae of the expedition, says this species was 

 only seen in the vicinity of the Antarctic Ice (Chal., ZooL, ii., p. 142). Possibly there 

 was a mistake in the identity of Von Snhm's specimen. Nos. 11 and 12 are given 

 by Carmichael; the former may possibly be ^. lessoni, which is sometimes confounded 

 with A. cinereus, and No. 12 is very likely P. desolatus the two being almost the same 

 in color and general appearance, for it seems hardly probable that the true Adamastor 

 cinereus (Gm.) and Prion vittata (Gm.) should occur here, though they are both said to 

 occur at Kerguelen.* In addition to these petrels Capt. Carmichael also mentions three 

 others " which are smaller " and a tern " which varies very little from the S. Mrundo^'' 

 perhaps *S'. vittata. He also records ^^ Turdus guianensis^'" ^'' Emheriza hraziliensiSy^ 

 and Fulica chloropus, which are undoubtedly the same as Nos. 1, 2 and 4.

f The identity of this bird is somewhat in doubt. See notes under this species, p. 440. 



if I have no means of identifying this bird except by Mr. Comer's descriptions and 

 the statements in the "Challenger" Report (vol. ii, p. 143), that this species is called 

 " black night hawk " by the sealers.
