Dr. Finsch (Papag. ii. 273-284) writes that PL pacificus 

 (Gmel.) and PI. cookii, Gray, from N. Zealand, PL aucklandicus , 

 Gray, from the Auckland Isles, PI. rayneri, Gray, from Norfolk 

 Isle, and PL erythrotis, Wagler, from Macquarie's Island, 

 belong to one species, viz. PL novae zelandice. I believe that 

 this question is not yet satisfactorily solved ; and thinking that 

 any contributions tending to this end would be not unwel- 

 come to ornithologists, I subjoin the measurements of the spe- 

 cimens in our collection : —
