Two other sources are Clements checklist and the Handbook of the Birds of
the World Vol 1.
They have the following:
HBW:
Wandering (D. exulans)
Amsterdam (D. amsterdamensis)
Royal (D. eopmophora)
Waved (D. irrorata)
Short-tailed (D. albatrus)
Black-footed (D. nigripes)
Laysan (D. immutabilis)
Black-browed (D. melanophris)
Buller's (D. bulleri)
Shy (D. cauta)
Yellow-nosed (D. chlororhnchos)
Grey-headed (D. chrysotoma)
Sooty (Phoebtria fusca)
Light-mantled (P. palpebrata)
Cllements calls the "Amsterdam" "Amsterdam Island", and puts Short-tailed,
Waved, Laysan, Black-footed in Phoebastria, Grey-headed, Black-browed,
Buller's and Shy in Thalassarche and Sooty and Light-mantled in Phoebtria.
Birds Australia (Sep 03) has (and these are just the Australian ones!)
Wandering Albatross Diomedea exulans
Tristan Albatross Diomedea dabbenena
Antipodean Albatross Diomedea antipodensis
Gibson's Albatross Diomedea gibsoni
Southern Royal Albatross Diomedea epomophora
Northern Royal Albatross Diomedea sanfordi
Amsterdam Albatross Diomedea amsterdamensis
Laysan Albatross Phoebastria immutabilis
Black-browed Albatross Thalassarche melanophrys
Campbell Albatross Thalassarche impavida
Buller's Albatross Thalassarche bulleri
Pacific Albatross Thalassarche platei
Shy Albatross Thalassarche cauta
White-capped Albatross Thalassarche steadi
Salvin's Albatross Thalassarche salvini
Chatham Albatross Thalassarche eremita
Atlantic Yellow-nosed Albatross Thalassarche chlororhynchos
Indian Yellow-nosed Albatross Thalassarche carteri
Grey-headed Albatross Thalassarche chrysostoma
Sooty Albatross Phoebetria fusca
Light-mantled Sooty Albatross Phoebetria palpebrata

Attention sea-bird savants/savantes,
I have now and then seen sighting-reports referring to particular
albatrosses by names (both
common-English and scientific) which I have not been able to track-down in
my reference books.
As most of these sightings appear to have been made in Australian waters
this has been doubly
frustrating.
The latest such source of frustration has come from the latest
contributions to Tom Tarrant's
wonderful web-project: "The Australian Bird Image Database."
See: http://www.aviceda.org/abid/index.php
Photographer Inger Vandyke has contributed excellent images of:
- Campbell Albatross, Thalassarche impavida
- Gibson's Albatross, Diomedea gibsoni
Hi,
I have the book, ' Field Guide to New Zealand Seabirds' by
Brian Parkingson. It takes that the taxonomy is from the (AFAIK) unaccepted
Albatross Biology and Conservation (Gales, 1998). The book includes the
following as species
of albatross:
Great Albatross (Diomedea)
Snowy (exulans)
Gibsons (gibsoni)
Antipodean (antipodensis)
Southern Royal (epomorpha)
Northern Royal (sanfordi)
Mollymawks (Thalassarche)
Black Browed (melanophrys)
Campbells (impavida)
Shy (cauta)
White-capped (steadi)
Salvins (salvini)
Chatham Island (eremita)
Grey-headed (chrysostoma)
Indian Yellow Nosed (carteri)
Bullers (bulleri)
Pacific (platei)
Sooty (Phoebetria fusca)
Light-mantled (Phoebetria palpebrata)
