178 Zoology. 



In Solander's MSS. there is a fuller description : 

 LARUS, albus, supra canus, abdomine pallide incarnato, rectri- 

 cibus nonnullis apice nigris, rostro pedibusque rubris. 



" Habitat : juxta littora Terrse de Fuego, ubi gregatim 

 volitant, et saepe totas scopulas cooperiunt." 



PL 33. " Eperia." " No. 2. Egg Bird. Otahite." 



" The whole bird interely white ; the beak a lead colour, 



as are also the toes ; the webs between white ; the Rachi 



of the wing feathers pale brown and those of the tail 



black." 



Mr. Howard Saunders thinks that this sketch, which is 



named " Egg Bird," is intended for Gygis Candida (Gm.). It 



may be noted, however, that the name "Egg Bird" is also 



applied to Sterna fuliginosa ; cf Saunders, Cat. B., xxv., p. 106. 



PL 34. " Columba porphyracea, Forster. Oopaa." " Green 



Dove. Otahite." 

 The Tahiti bird is P til opus purpuratus (Gm.), according to 

 Salvadori, Cat. B., xxi., p. 105. 



PL 35. " Amaho, Columba pectoralis, Otahite. The red on 

 the neck brighter : some of a fine shiny purple." 

 = Phlogsenas, sp. ; cf. Salvad., Cat. B., xxi., p. 601, 

 note. 

 This bird is only known from Latham's description, which 

 was founded on a specimen in the Banksian Collection (cf. 

 Salvadori, I.e.). It is apparently not mentioned in Solander's 

 MSS. 



PL 36. "No. 11, Turdus. Terra del Fuego." 

 A pencil outline, probably intended for Turdus magellanicus, 

 which is the only species of true Thrush found in the island 

 by Captain Crawshay. 



PL 36, fig. 2. "The whole wings and tail black and little 

 inclining to brown ; the feathers of the back at their 

 bases are black and their edges scarlet, which makes it 

 look darker : the scarlet of the Belly is more yellow 

 than the rest : the legs fusca : the beak black excepting 

 the oblong space mark'd of[f] on the base of the under 

 mandible, which is white. Rio Janeiro." 

 This pencilled figure is intended for Xiphohna atropurpurea. 

 PL 37, fig. 1. "Rio de Janeiro." 



There is no name given to this figure, but I should say it 

 very fairly represents Spermophila cserulescens (Yieill.) ; cf. Sharpe, 

 Cat. B. Brit. Mus., xii., p. 126.
