This and the preceding, are undoubtedly the same species, and 

 always associate together. Sometimes two of the white may be 

 seen together ; at other times two of the blue ; but, as a rule, it is 

 one of each colour. One specimen obtained (a fine old male) of 

 the white variety, is blotched all over with blue. I also saw one 

 half blue and white. The colour is not a sexual difference, as 

 adults of both sexes and colours are easily obtained. 



114. — Nycticorax caledonicus, Latham. 

 Young male, Darnley Island.
