 Zeal. Inst. 1870, pp. 385-392. 



Refers to Dr. Finsch's paper in 'The Ibis' (1869, pp. 378- 

 381), criticising certain species described by Mr. Buller in a 

 former number of the same journal (1869, pp. 37-43). The 

 correctness of Dr. Finsch's identifications is admitted in some 

 cases, whilst in others Mr. Buller reasserts his former views. 



2. Remarks on some disputed species of New-Zealand Birds. 

 Ibis, 1870, pp. 455-460. 



The birds in question are some concerning the distinctness of 

 which doubts have been expressed by Dr. Finsch in his article 

 on New-Zealand birds (Ibis, 1869, pp. 378-381). Mr. Buller 

 demurs to Dr. Finsch's judgment respecting some of them.
