We give below a few notes concerning these birds, and identify them 

 where possible. 



The kakoJie was also known as whekau. It was about the size of the 

 ruru — some say larger. The Rev. H. Williams identifies it as the laughing- 

 owl {Sceloglaux alhifacies). The Natives say that this bird lived in holes 

 and crevices in cliffs. Such a place was termed a pari hakoke. A saying 

 often heard is " Me te pari hakoke " (Like a hakoke cliff), as in speaking of 

 a steep and stony cultivation-ground. These birds are no longer seen in 

 this district, but Paitini states that he saw them here when he was a youth 

 — say, in 1855. The hakoke nested in cliffs. 



In vol. xviii of the " Transactions of the New Zealand Institute," at 

 page 97, Mr. Reischek states (in 1885) that he never saw the whekau in the 

 north, and that it was extremely rare in the south. It preyed mostly on 

 rats. He refers to it as Athene alhijacies. At page 63 of vol. iii of the 

 same journal Mr. Potts gives some information concerning this bird.
