ARDENNA REICHENBACH, 1853

ARDENNA PACIFICA ( GMELIN, 1789) , WEDGE-TAILED SHEARWATER

Material: Nukuleka: NISP = 3, MNI = 1. Falevai: NISP = 3, MNI = 1. Ofu: NISP = 20, MNI = 2. Vuna: NISP = 8, MNI = 1.

Remarks: This species is abundant in the tropical Pacific, and the specimens matched the reference specimen, MV B.12741, well.

PROCELLARIID MAGN. ARDENNA PACIFICA ( GMELIN,

1789)

Material: Otea: Ka1.05.12.18, pL cmc, NISP = 1, MNI = 1.

Remarks: This worn specimen lacks the processus extensorius, is the size of MV B.12741, but differs with a more robust os metacarpale minus.

PROCELLARIID SP. LGE

? PSEUDOBULWERIA ROSTRATA ( PEALE, 1849) View in CoL , TAHITI PETREL

Material: Otea: Ka1.05.01.21, dL hum, NISP = 1, MNI = 1.

Measurements: Maximum SW = 5.2 mm, est. DW (flexor process missing) 11.0 mm.

Remarks: This specimen compares in size with Ps. rostrata, NMNZ O. 24691, with DW = 11.7 mm and SW = 5.1 mm. As in Ps. rostrata ( NMNZ O.23900, 24691), the impression for the brachialis anticus within the fossa brachialis is well defined distally and near circular, whereas it is poorly defined distally and oval in Pterodroma .
