I shall deal with each one of these in the succeeding pages, and I hope that 
my notes wUl show that Solander was a most accurate observer, and that with 
regard to Petrels he was certainly ahead of any other systematist of his time. 
Certainly, if his descriptions had been published, I do not think there would 
have been so much misunderstanding regarding the members of this group.
