Genus— P ELAGODROMA. 
Pelagodroma Reichenbach, Nat. Syst. Vog., p. iv., 1852 . . Type P. inarina. 
This monotypic genus only differs from the preceding in its longer legs and 
toes, the outer of which is longest. The tarsus is scutellated and the third 
primary is almost as long as the second, otherwise it agrees very closely with 
Oceanites. In the Monograph of the Petrels, Classification, p. xxxvii., it is widely 
separated from Oceanites and Garrodia and allied with Pealea in a section 
having the “ claws flattened and wide.” 
This must be an error, though perpetrated by the majority of authors, 
as the claws are long and narrow, with very little flattening, and closely 
approach the claws of Oceanites. 
It will be noted that I have considered “ Pealea ” lineata a member of the 
genus Oceanites.
