A most interesting and graphic narrative by this Smithsonian collector, 
of his experiences in travel and natural history. The purely ornitho- 
logical facts have already been giveu by G. A. Lawrence [c/. ^ool. Rec. 
XV. Aves, pp. 15 & 16, xvi. Aves, p. 16], but the present work contains 
many important details.

In a former paper [cf. Zool. Rec, xv. Aves, p. 21], the huiperus was 
described from the Eocene clay of Sheppey, which has now yielded a 
fragmentary cranium. The position of the genus was then supposed to 
bo nearest to Diomedea^ and it was placed by the Recorder amongst the 
Prpcellariidce ; but these recently discovered remains indicate the exist-^ 
euce of teeth in the bill, although in other points it differs materially from 
Odontopteryx [ Odontprnithes ] .
