Specimens b-d are not quite typical and appear to be more 

 or less intermediate between P. culensoi and P. campbelli. 

 The white fore-neck, especially in specimen " b" is largely 

 interrupted with black, the lower fore-neck being in fact 

 black, with an interrupted white line down the middle; in 

 specimens "c"and " d" the white line, though somewhat 

 narrow and irregular, is continuous. 



In the British Museum Collection there is a fully adult male 

 specimen which probably came from Auckland Islands, 

 presented by Mr. L. W. Milles. This bird resembles 

 specimen lt c" as regards the white on the throat, but the 

 wings are greener and entirely devoid of an alar bar. 



Typical examples of P. campbelli having been obtained at 

 the Auckland Islands, it seems possible that the above- 

 mentioned specimens may be the result of interbreeding, but 

 the characters which serve to distinguish the various insular 

 forms are not always quite constant and are perhaps not yet 

 thoroughly established.
