In this paper (which has already been generally noticed in scientific 
periodicals, separate copies having been issued two years before actual 
publication) the author’s descriptions and nomenclature arc supplemented 
by the full and interesting field-notes of the naturalist, the Rev. A. E. 
Eaton. The species noticed belong principally to the Anatidce, Laridce, 
ProcellariidcB, and Spkeniscidce. A good abstract of the results is to be 
found in Ann. Sc. Nat. (6) viii. art. 14, pp. 7-21 (Proc. verb.).
