PAGODROMA. 
No birds are at present available from the type-locality of Forster’s P. nivea, 
so that the exact dimensions of P. n. nivea are unknown. 
For the series of the small bird from Cape Adare, of which I have given the 
measurements, I would accept the name Pagodroma nivea Candida (Peale). 
One specimen procured at the Falkland Islands by J. Macgillivray, with 
which are associated two others so labelled, appears to represent a race with 
slightly larger dimensions, viz. culmen 22-23 by 10, wing 264-270, tarsus 33, 
middle toe 35-36 mm. These may be representative of the South Georgia 
breeding bird which Von Steinen called Pagodroma nivea {novegeorgica ?) but 
of which I can find no detailed description. I would recommend the use of 
P. nivea novegeorgica for the form I have indicated. 
For the large bird from Cape Adare, which I herewith describe, I propose 
the name of 
Pagodroma confusa, sp. n. 
The whole plumage snowy- white, larger in every dimension than P. nivea \ 
“ bill bluish-black; legs, feet and webs bluish grey, nails black ” (E. A. Wilson). 
S : bill 24-26 by 12-14, wing 300-304, tarsus 39-40, middle toe 40-42, middle 
claw 13 mm. 
? : bill 24 by 12-13, wing 297, tarsus 38, middle toe 39-40, middle claw 13 mm.
