-82- R. forsteri has been recorded from Tahiti, and its status remains unsettled. Wiglesworth identifies this species with S. forsteri (ex For- an ster MS. from "Tahiti"), but Salvadori leaves forsteri as uniden- tified species, and possibly a "Carpophaga?", with a suggestion that it may be Globicera wilkesi (= aurorae). PERISTERIDAE. ?Gallicolumba rubescens (Vieillot). (Type locality: Nukuhiva.) Nukuhiva: Tilesius; Bonaparte. There are said to be no specimens now extant, and the bird is only known from Krusenstern's figure. Forster refers to a bird from the Marquesas that may be this species, but he does not describe it. Salvadori queries the genus, but Hartert, who has examined Krusen- stern's figure (Atlas zur Reise von Krusenstern, 1814, pl. XVII), says it looks like a Phlegoenas [= Gallicolumba], and if the locality is correct "is a species peculiar to Nukahiva." (Novit. Zool., XXIII, 1916, 94.) DIOMEDEIDAE. Albatrosses. Phoebetria palpebrata (Forster). (Type locality: 47°-71°10' S.) Marquesas Ids.: Jardin. Diomedea "exulans". Marquesas Ids.: Jardin. PUFFINIDAE. Shearwaters, etc. Daption capense (Linnaeus).
