HuTTON, Frederick Wollaston. 



1. Catalogue of the Birds of Neio Zealand, with Diagnoses of 

 the Species. New Zealand: 1871. 8vo, pp. 85. 



160 indigenous species are mentioned in this Catalogue, a 



very brief diagnosis being given of each. A list of 52 species is 



also given of birds introduced by European settlers. At the 



end of the volume a number of critical notes are added. 



2. On the Nests and Eggs of some Species of New-Zealand 

 Birds. Trans. N.-Z. Inst. 1871. pp. Ill, 112. 



Five species of birds furnish the materials for this paper, all 



but one of which are sea-birds. 



3. On the Microscopical Structure of the Eggshell of the Moa. 

 Trans. N.-Z. Inst. 1871, pp. 166, 167, pi. ix. 



Capt. Hutton^s observations lead him to the same conclusions 

 as those of Nathusius, viz. that the eggshell of Dinornis is es- 

 sentially struthious in its character, that of Apteryx departing 

 widely therefrom. \_Cf Nathusius, W. v.] 



4. On some Moa Feathers. Trans. N.-Z. Inst. 1871, p. 172, 

 pi. ix. 



The feathers of the Moa have long aftershafts like those of 



the Emu. Its eggshells are like those of Rhea, and thus show 



a rather closer relationship to the Australian and South- American 



forms of Struthiones than to the African. 



5. On the Sailing Flight of the Albatross. A Reply to Mr. 

 J. S. Webb. Trans. N.-Z. Inst. 1871, pp. 347-350. 



A reply to certain criticisms upon Capt. Mutton's papers on 



this subject. 



6. On Megapodius pritchardi. Gray; Megapodius huttoni, 

 Buller. Trans. N.-Z. Inst. 1871, p. 165. 



Contains an account of the specimen described by Mr. Buller. 



It was procured at Nuifo ( = Niafu or Niufu, as written by Finsch) , 



one of the Friendly group. Capt. Hutton refers it without much 



hesitation to M. pritchardi of Gray. \Cf. Buller, Walter.]
