The Pink-footed Shearwater is probably the species described by Pennant in his 'Arctic Zoology' as the Kurile Petrel, and very appropriately named about 1780 Procellaria nigra (Pallas, Spicilegia Zoologica, pt. V. p. 28). Three examples collected by Mr. Henson at Hakodadi in May have passed through my hands (Seebohm, Ibis, 1884, p. 176) and are now in the British Museum. This species is said to breed on some islands oflP the coast of South- western Australia, and is probably a non-breeding summer visitor to the North Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Seebohm, Henry, 1832-1895.
