Summary. Based on work during residence from January 1950 to October 1952, a revised check‐list is presented for the Tristan Group, together with field and taxonomic notes on the individual species. Only two subspecies of birds, other forms of which survive elsewhere in the group, are known to have become extinct during the century and a half of human settlement.
