* " The common South Island woodhen must for the present bear the name of 

 G. hectori." " It is obvious that we have not reached the truth as to the distribution 

 and forms of the woodhen," owing to " the few specimens we have been able to examine." 



t The authors suggest that the locality " Auckland Islands " in original description 

 should read " Auckland." 



% The authors place it in Witzsch's genus Hypsibates, with type H. himantopus Linne. 

 According to my reading of the Report of International Committee, the name 

 Himantopus must remain. — W. B. B.
