A LIST
OF THE
BIRDS OF NEW ZEALAND
AND
THE ADJACENT ISLANDS.

A List of the Birds of New Zealand and the adjacent Islands.

[This list has been drawn up by Mr. G. R. Gray from the Synopsis of the Birds of New Zealand (embracing Auckland, Campbell and Chatham Islands), given by him in the 'Zoology' of the Voyage of H.M.SS. Erebus and Terror, with which he has incorporated the additional species recorded by modern authors since the publication of that work. At the same time, the birds found on the neighbouring islands, viz. Norfolk, Phillip, Middleton's, Lord Howe's, Macaulay's, and Nepean Islands, &c., have been added, to complete the Avifauna of this portion of the Southern Hemisphere. – Ed.]

Hab. Norfolk Island (Mr. Rayner, R.N.).

This species is easily distinguished from the New Zealand bird (P. pacificus), which has the upper surface dull green; the front, vertex, and spot on the ear-coverts carmine; quills fuscous black, with the outer web of each feather purplish blue, margined with green, and narrowly edged with yellow; and the outer tail-feathers beneath yellowish brown. The corresponding bird from Macquarie's Island (P. erythrotis) also differs, as it is of a general yellowish-green colour; the front, vertex, and spot on the ear-coverts are crimson; the quills fuscous black, with the outer web of the first three feathers blue, margined with green, edged with yellow; the rest of the quills have the outer webs yellowish green, edged with yellow; the under surface of the tail-feathers is entirely of a yellowish brown.

There probably exists a second species of this remarkable genus, which may be characterized by the light-blue colour on the sides and tip of each plume, in the place of yellowish green; also by the plumes being white instead of yellow, and by theirbeing more numerously banded (regularly and irregularly) withblack; these bands appear more decided on the wings and tailthan in the former species. Should other specimens determineit to be a distinct species, it is proposed by Mr. G. R. Gray that it should be named Strigops greyii, in honour of His Excellency Sir G. Grey, K.C.B., who presented the example which forms the

subject of these remarks to the British Museum, and who has done so much in extending our knowledge of the birds of the regions on which this paper more especially treats.

Beautiful Parrots and Parroquets are recorded as having been found on Lord Hoove's Island (Phill. Bot. Bay, p. 225) and on Macaulay's Island (p. 228).

A third species of the family is stated to have been found on Norfolk Island (Downing, Proc. Boy. Soc. Tasmania); but two species only are at present recorded in this list.
