ANTARCTIC FULMAR. 



(Fulmarus antarcticus.) 



Fu. albuSf dorso medio canescente, alis nigricantibus. 

 White Fulmar with the back hoary in the middle, the wings 

 dusky.

Latham says of this bird, " Size of the last (the 

 Northern Fulmar) : beak black, stout, and much curved 

 at the end : head, neck, body, and tail white : be- 

 tween the wings pale ash-colour : the whole of the 

 wing dusky black : legs dusky. Inhabits the Ant- 

 arctic Ocean, pretty far to the south." 



This appears to me to have sufficient character of 

 discrimination to constitute a distinct species, exclu- 

 sive of its locality ; and its black beak and deep brown 

 wings well distinguish it from the preceding species.
