Adult male. Top and sides of the head, cheeks, and towards the base of lower mandible pale sulphvu’-yellow, the 
feathers of the forehead and crown lengthened, and having a shaft-streak of glossy black ; general upper 
surface of the body, as well as the sides of the breast and thighs, dull blue, with a streak of black down the 
centre of each feather ; upper surface of flippers bluish black, the outer edges yellowish white ; region of 
the ears, throat, and upper sides of neck pale fulvous brown ; fore neck, breast, and the rest of the under- 
parts yellowish white ; tail-feathers bluish black. Bill dull brownish orange; legs and feet dark brown.

mandible 3 ; tarsus 1'5 ; middle toe and claw 3’5. 
Obs. A specimen of the male bird in my collection from Campbell Island, and now figured, has the black shaft- 
lines on the vertex broader, the dark colour predominating, with an outer and well-defined band of pale 
yellow, which is continued, although in a narrower form, through the eyes to the angles of the mouth, 
forming a sort of coronal hood, the feathers composing which are glossy and of a silky texture. The yellow 
on the lower sides of the cheek is marked with minute black shaft-lines; and the fulvous brown of the throat 
and sides of the upper fore neck has a darker edge separating it from the white, the latter forming a rounded 
apex in front about three inches below the angle of the lower mandible. The underparts are white, with a 
very decided gloss. 
Another adult male from Campbell Island, which I had an opportunity of examining in the Otago 
Museum, has a beautiful head, the coronal region being pale lemon-yellow, pencilled on the vertex and 
crown with black; cheeks washed with yellow; chin and sides of the neck pale brown, shading into the 
light blue which covers the nape and lower sides of the neck ; hind neck, back, and general upper surface 
bright blue with thick black shaft-lines ; inner margin of flippers and the whole of the under surface satiny 
white. The white of the fore neck extends upwards to within an inch and a half of the bill, where it meets 
the pale brown colour and forms a rounded outline. Irides said to have been bright yellow. 
Adult female. As large as the male, but with the entire plumage less conspicuous. The vertex and crown are 
only slightly washed with yellow, the dark shaft-lines being less pronounced on that account, hut extending 
further back and covering the whole crown, there being no indication of the coronal circlet described above. 
The plumage of the upper parts is chiefly a dingy brown with a faint wash of blue on the outer edges of the 
feathers, this colour being of a much lighter tint than in the other sex. Upper surface of flippers dull bluish
