PUFFINUS CARNEIPES, Gould. 
Fleshy-footed Petrel. 
Puffinus carneipes, Gould in Proc. of Zool. Soc., Part XII. p. 57. — lb. in Ann. and Mag. of Nat. Hist., vol. xiii. 
p. 365. 
This species of Petrel flies over the seas bordering the southern and western coasts of Australia, and resorts 
among other places to the small islands off Cape Leeuwin for the purpose of breeding ; it was here that 
the specimens and eggs contained in my collection were procured. It differs from the Pujjinus bremcaudus 
in the greater length and in the more square form of its tail, and in the light or fleshy colouring of its bill 
and legs. 
There is no difference in the colouring of the sexes, which may be thus described : — 
The whole of the plumage chocolate-black ; bill fleshy white, the culmen and tips of the mandibles 
brown ; legs, feet and interdigital membranes yellowish flesh-colour. 
The figure is of the natural size.
