ZOOLOGICAL LITERATURE. 
JE. [lege CE.] dejilippiana, from the coast of Peru, having affinities with 
P. cookij Gray, P. gavia, Licht,, P. desolata, Qinel., and P. gularisy Peale ; 
[lege d?.] trinitatiSf from near Trinity Island, belonging to Bonaparte’s 
group Pterodroma j 
And a Puffinusj from the South Atlantic, lat. 43°, long. 9° E., for which 
the name of P. elegans is proposed, should it prove to bo a new species. 
The diagnostic characters of most of these species are minute, and wo feel 
that if we attempted an abstract of them we might be only misleading our 
readers. 
Pujffinus anglorum is figm*ed. J. Gould, B. Gr. Br. pt. xiv. 
Nectris fuliginosus and N. amauro&oma (Zool. Bee. i. p. 96) are figured. D.

A bone in the Woodwardian Museum at Cambridge from the peat of the 
fens of Cambridgeshire proves to be that of a young individual of a large species 
of Pelecanus ; but the author hesitates about recognizing it as distinct from 
P. onocrotalus. The specimen exhibited : A. Newton, P. Z. S. 1868, p. 2.

Six or possibly seven species are named as living as above. These are 
Pelecanm onocrotahis, P. mitratus, P. crispusj P. I'ufescensy P. consjoicillatuSy 
and P. /mens, of which the fourth and last are figured, together with portions 
of the head of the first, second, and fourth. A figure is also given of what 
Mr. Blyth regards as P. javanicus, Ilorsf., from a Syrian example. Notes on 
all these as well as on three others not exhibited in the Zoological Gardens 
are given, and a diagnostic list of the ten species which seem to the author 
to be well founded. 
Pelecanus crispus has occurred for the third time in India. A. Ilume, Ibis, 
1868, pp. 236-239. 
Graculus carbo,’^ from South Africa (Layard, B. S. Afr. p. 380), is G. 
lucidus (Licht.) ; but possibly G. carbo occurs there as well. E. L. Layard,

scribed. R. Swinhoe, Ibis, 1868, pp. 62-68.
