ORNITHOLOGY OF SECTION D, 1850. 
“H. M. S. Rattlesnake, 
“ Of Cape Howe, South Coast of New South Wales, 
“6th February, 1848. 
“In the beginning of November last, I sent you in a box of 
specimens, through Professor Forbes, three lists, showing the daily 
occurrence of the Procellaride during our outward voyage; first, 
between Rio de Janeiro and the Cape of Good Hope; second, 
between the Cape of Good Hope and the Mauritius; and third, 
between the Mauritius and Van Diemen’s Land.” 
The following are the lists referred to, and they are of great 
value, as showing the range of the species enumerated therein; 
and are peculiarly interesting to me, as they tend to confirm the 
observations made by myself during my Voyage to and from 
Australia, of which a full account has been given in my work :—
