outline of feathers on both mandibles; wliitish, -with a pink or yellow tinge. Very large: 

 length, 4.00-4.50 feet; extent 10 feet or more, usually about 10.50. Young are dark colored, 

 whitening on the head. It is probable that this species, already several times included in our 

 Fauna, and then dropped for lack of sufficient evidence of its occurrence, requires to be 

 reinstated. Its appearence in Florida has lately been recorded. The Auk, Oct. 1885, p. 387.

 ofl the Columbia River. Audubon described it as the yellow-nosed albatross, D. chloro- 

 rhi/ndia ; but his specimen, which I handled many years ago, is clearly of this species, as I 

 first pointed out in Pr. Phila. Acad., 1806, p. 183.
