NOTES AND EEFEEENCES. 



Hydrochelidon leucopteea, Meisner ».\'" Schinz. Mr. Howard Saunders 

 states (P.Z.S., 1876, p. G42), that this species has been obtained in 

 Australia and New Zealand, lut does not give any loc^alities. I have 

 never seen, or heard of the bird being found, on our coasts, and 

 should lie glad of more definite information on the subject. — (See 

 Hutton, List N.Z. iids., p. 43 ; id. p 78.) The bird which I refer to 

 (sp. 694) as Sterna dougalli, agrees well with Mr. Gould's figure 

 of S. GRACILIS, but has a longer tail and the whole oi the lAW jet bJarh, 

 even to the very base.
