Annals of the Transvaal Museum 199 
Puffinus kuhli = Calonectvis kuhli {idem). 
P. gravis = Ardenna gravis {idem). 
P. griseus , = Neonectvis griseus {idem) . 
Procellaria cinerea = Priofinus cinereus (Mathews, B. Australia, ii. 119) = Ada- 
mastor cinerea {Austral. Av. Rec. iv, 131). 
Majaqueus aequinoctialis = Procellaria aequinoctialis mixta Mathews {B. 
Australia, ii. 106). 
Priocella glacialoides = Priocella antarctica (Stephens) {idem, p. 126). 
Oestrelata = Pterodroma {idem, p. 129). I note that there are three groups 
contained in this genus, subgeneric recognition of which should be con- 
sidered, namely: 
Pt. macroptera : tarsus entirely black = Pterodroma. 
Pt. incerta and lessoni: tarsus yellow and over i| inch == Oestrelata. 
Pt. mollis', tarsus yellow and under inch = subgenus? 
Ossifraga — Macronectes (cf. Richmond, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. xxviii. 76, 1905). 
Prion caerulea = Halohaena caerulea (cf, Mathews, B. Australia, ii. 94, 1912). 
Prion brevirostris = Pseudoprion turtur brevirostris (cf. idem, p, 220). 
Prion banksi = Heteroprion desolatus banksi and a new subspecies Heteroprion 
desolatus peringueyi Mathews {idem, p. 230). 
OCEANITIDAE 
Fregetta melanogaster = F. tropica J. Gould, and F. gr allaria — F. leucogaster 
J. Gould (cf. Mathews, B. Australia, ii. 42). 
Pelecanoididae 
Pelecanoides exul = P. urinatrix exul (cf. idem, p. 238). 
Diomedeidae 
Diomedea melanophrys = Thalassarche melanophris (cf, idem, p. 264). 
Thalassogeron layardi + Diomedea cauta = Diomedella cauta layardi (cf, idem, 
P- 275)- 
T . chlororhynchus = N ealbatrus chlororhynchus chlororhynchus (cf, idem, pp. 
274 and 282). 
T. culminatus = T. chrysostoma chrysostoma (cf. idem, pp. 274 and 282); but 
according to Oberholser’s finding {Auk, p. 267, 1919) the correct specific 
name is culminatus. 
Phaebetria fuliginosa = P. palpebrata palpebrata Forster (cf. Mathews, l.c. 
p. 299). The generic name of Phoehastria appearing in Gunning and 
Haagner’s Check List (1910), appears to have arisen through a slip on the 
part of the former, who altered the generic name in the Transvaal Museum 
copy of Reichenow’s Die Vogel Afrikas, evidently under the impression 
that Reichenow’s reference to Phoebastria in the appendix of the first 
volume, p. 679, necessitated alteration of the name of Phaebetria. 
Sternidae 
Mathews {l.c. ii. 320) has shown that the Whiskered Tern should bear the 
name of Hydrochelidon leucopareia Temminck, and the South African form 
is described by him as H. 1 . delalandei, the name being adopted from Bona- 
parte, who had omitted to describe it. This species has a stouter bill than 
H. leucoptera, and should be recognised, if need be, under the subgeneric 
name of Pelodes Kaup. 
Sterna caspia = Hydroprogne tschegrava (Lepechin) (cf. Mathews, l.c. p. 335). 
S. cantiaca = Thalasseus sandvicensis (Latham) (cf. idem, p. 325),
