This well-marked species is easily distinguished from 

 B.fulva (G. R. Gray) by its larger size and much heavier 

 hill, and by having the feathers of the sides and flanks 

 indistinctly streaked along the shafts with blackish, while in 

 B.fulva these feathers are very conspicuously streaked with 

 black down the middle.

Steindachner's Pipit has the iris black and the legs and 

 feet brown. It was not uncommon on the Auckland and 

 Antipodes Islands, and its powers of flight were very limited 

 {F. TV. Hutton). 



I have examined a series of specimens in the Tring 

 Museum from Antipodes and Auckland Islands, all of which 

 belong to the present form, and differ constantly from 

 A. nova zealandiee in having the breast buff-coloured.
