(Estrelata philippi Saunders (nec Gr.), P. Z. S. 1880, 
p. 164 (lat. 37°59'S., long. 29°18'E.). 
Minor; supra fusco-cinerea, alis obscurioribus ; fronte 
albo-varia; corpore subtus albo, sed fascia pectorali 
transversa cinerea ornato; lateribus vix cinereo variis. 
Long. tot. circa mm. 330; al. 255; caud. 105; tarsi 32; 
rostri culm. 28-29. 
Hab. in Oceano Atlantico et Indico australi. 
This species is confined to the Southern Seas, especially the 
Southern Atlantic and Southern Indian Oceans, between the 
20th and the 50th parallels ; the most western point where 
it has been found being Nightingale Island, near Tristan 
da Cunha. In the Indian Ocean it probably lives round 
Kerguelen Island; by Gould it is mentioned from the seas 
off the eastern end of St. Paul and Amsterdam Islands; in the 
British Museum there is one specimen from North-west 
Australia and others (doubtfully) from South Australia. Prof. 
Giglioli, during the voyage of the ‘ Magenta/ met with this 
species between latitudes 42° 47' and 40° 42' S. and longitudes 
3° 26' and 53° 20' E., and again in the South Australian 
seas from lat. 37° 22' S., long. 112° 5' E., nearly to the 
entrance of Port Phillip. 
The presence of (E . mollis in the seas north of New 
Zealand is open to doubt, and I should say that the speci¬ 
mens from New Caledonia—where, according to Layard, 
(E. mollis breeds on Mount Mon—also require comparison.
