" The Bounty-Island Shag is by no means abundant. 



"We saw no birds with a white patch on the back, though 

 the adult specimen shot (the type of P. ranfurlyi) has 

 indications of one. 



"It is remarkable that there are no Shags on either the 

 Snares or Antipodes Islands." {F. IV. Hutton.) 



In January 1902 a second attempt was made to secure 

 additional examples of this Cormorant, but it was found 

 impossible to land on Bounty Island, as the sea was breaking 

 right over it, and no boat could land with safety. Subse- 

 qucntly, however, in January 1903, Commander J. 11. 

 Rolleston, H.M.S. ' Archer,' visited the islands and procured 

 further specimens, some of which reached New Zealand alive, 

 but were subsequently killed and forwarded to England with 

 other birds in formaline.
