ornithological results of the expedition sent out to the 
Galapagos in 1897 by Mr. Webster (of the U.S.A.) and 
Mr. Rothschild for the exploration of the natural history

he started, with two collectors, in a two-masted schooner,

Galapagos on July 26th. The party visited successively 
Culpepper, Wenman, Abingdon, Bindloe, Jervis, James, 
Barrington, Chatham, Hood, Charles, Albemarle, Nar- 
borough, and Tower Islands, and regained San Francisco
