The generic name Thalassnica, Reich. (" ; 1852, p. iv) has usually been employed fur this species. But, aside from any question of priority (Thalansoica dating , and Priocella 1844), the type of Thulassoica is explicitly stated to be the Procdlaria antttrctica (C}MEL.),a bird which the late Professor W. A. Forbes has recently (" Zool. ' Challenger,'" Vol. IV. 1882, p. 59) made the type of a new genus, Acipetes, and which is certainly perfectly ilistinct generically from the type of the genus Priocella. Aeipetes, however, is clearly a synonyme of Thulassoica. Priocella glacialoides. THE SLENDEB-BILLED FULMAR. Procdlaria , Am. Orn. 1839, 333 ; B. Am.
