-62- when he was in the vicinity of the Tuamotu group. Whether it be- lnged to the Tubinares is not certain, though probable. (See under Rapa Island.) (A.

Near Hemake (Dog or Honden): Peale. The type and only specimen was obtained Aug. 20, 1839, near this island, and Peale wrote "they breed on the coral islands." Loomis (Auk, 1920, 88) decides that parvirostris is a synonym of alba Gmelin; he is probably right as far as Christmas Island is con- cerned, but fresh material from this locality and the Tuamotus should be compared, as there is a distance of about 1800 or 2000 miles between the two places. ?Pterodroma neglecta (Schlegel). (Type locality: Kermadec group.) Near Pitcairn: Solander. A specimen obtained by Solander (the Procellaria melanopus of Solander's MS., nec Gmelin), on March 21, 1769, near Pitcairn, is identified by Mathews (from Solander's description and drawing) as nearest to Schlegel's neglecta.
