Graculus urile, Reich. Syst. Av. 1850, t. 65. 
Phalacrocorax urile, Bonap. Comptes Rendu-, XLII, Ap. 1856, 766. 
Sp. Ch. — Dark green ; on the face and upper part of the neck are long narrow hair-like feathers of a straw color ; gular sack 
orange ; a large white mark on each side near the leg. 
AduU. "Face and crest rich deep shining purple; neck deep greenish blue; the face and the upper part of the neck 
ornamented with some thinly dispersed, long, narrow hair-like straw-colored feathers ; body above and beneath deep glossy 
green ; scapularies and wings deep purple, primal ies and tail black, the latter with white shafts ; on each side of the abdomen, 
at the insertion of the leg, a large patch of white; bill blackish hair-color, lighter at the tip ; naked part of the throat, corners 
of the mouth, and naked skin of the coverts apparently rich orange." 
" Total length, 36 inches ; bill, 4 ; tail, 9 ; tarsi, 3." 
" Hah. — Russian America." 
"Nearly allied to, if not identical with, but differs from the Pelecanus urile of Latham in its much larger size, and in the 
ornamental plumes being dispersed over face and sides of the neck, instead of on the front of the latter only." 
There are no specimens of this species in the collection. 
The ahove is Mr. Gould's account of this species, taken from the Zoology of the Voyage of 
the Sulphur. 
There appears to be some doubt whether this may not be the Red-faced Cormorant of Pennant 
and Latham, (" Pel. urile, Gmelin.") Gray puts it under P. urile, Gm., with a question, and 
Bonaparte at one time also considered it to be that species, but finally concluded it was 
distinct.
