white mottlings and a white See also:head; D. migripes of the See also:North Pacific is similar in See also:colour but with white only near the See also:eye and at the See also:base of the tail and See also:bill; D. immutabilis of See also:Japan is darker but has a white head. D. melanophrys of the southern oceans has been found in summer both in See also:California, in See also:England, and as far north as the Faeroes, Ac-cording to J. See also:Gould the latter is the commonest species of See also:albatross inhabiting the Southern Ocean, and its gregarious habits and See also:familiar disposition make it well known to every voyager to or from See also:Australia, for it is equally See also:common in the See also:Atlantic as well as the Pacific. The back, wings and tail are of a blackish-See also:grey, but all the See also:rest of the plumage is white, except a dusky super-ciliary streak, whence its name of See also:black-browed albatross, as also its scientific epithet, are taken. The bill of the adult is of an ochreous-yellow, while that of the See also:young is dark. This species breeds on the See also:Falkland Islands. D. bulleri of the New See also:Zealand seas is greyish-brown, with white underparts and rump and ashy head. Diomedea (or Thalassogeron) culminate and chlororhyncha of the southern seas, D. (or T.) cauta of See also:Tasmania, See also:salvini of New Zealandandlayardi of the Cape resemble'D. bulleri, but have a See also:strip of naked skin between the plates of the maxilla towards its base. H. N. Moseley (Notes of a Naturalist, 130) describes D. culminata as making a cylindrical See also:nest of grass, sedge and See also:clay, with a shallow See also:basin atop and an overhanging rim—the whole being about 14 in. in See also:diameter and to in height. The See also:bird See also:lays a single white See also:egg, which is held in a sort of pouch, formed by the skin of the See also:abdomen, while she is incubating. The feet of D. bulleri are red, of D. chlororhyncha flesh-coloured, of the others yellow. (A.
