It will be noted that Solander appreciated the differences between the 
Atlantic and Pacific forms ; this latter bird was killed east of the Kermadec 
Islands, and as this species has been recorded as breeding on that group, I think 
Solander’s name will later prove acceptable for a bird, either of the Kermadec 
breeding, or may be a Cook Island subspecies. The description does not 
exactly apply to the New Zealand bird; and I have found Solander to be so 
accurate, that I feel his name refers to a race with which I am at present 
unacquainted.
