| Abstract | We describe and name a new subspecies of fulmar prion as Pachyptila crassirostris fl emingi. This little-known seabird has less than 1,000 pairs breeding at the Auckland Islands and 1,000-10,000 pairs breeding on Heard Island. It is probably largely sedentary around these islands in winter, with possible stragglers reaching mainland New Zealand and Tasmania. |
