Omnino schistaceo-grisea : primariis intus cineraceis, minime albis : subalaribus et 

 axillaribus schistaceis, illis albido marginatis : rostro valde compresso. 



This Fulmar is recognised by its entirely slaty-grey plumage and compressed bill. 

 The axillaries and under wing-coverts are also slaty-grey, with whitish edges to the 

 feathers, the lower primary-coverts and inner webs of the quills being paler grey, but 

 without white.
