 Q£strelata neglecta id. ib. p. 115.

Range : — Kermadec Islands (breeding). 



Note : — There is considerable confusion regarding this 

 species in BuUer's Supplement, as can be seen from the 

 above synonymy. The notes under (J^. mollis (save this, " I 

 have another example in my collection from Otago '') refer 

 to this species; the bird noted (p. 113) is also not referable 

 to (E. mollis. The matter under (E. neglecta all refers to 

 this species, but Buller quotes conflicting accounts without 

 comment, while under (E. jyhillipi he includes a note by 

 Hutton written in 1893, though Hutton had retracted his 

 recognition later and this is quoted on p. 116. One of us 

 (Iredale, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W. vol. xxxv. 1910, p. 780, 

 1911) has shown that P. phiUipi Gray could not be used 

 for this bird ; and more recently the other (Mathews, Birds 

 Austr. vol. ii. 1912, p. 141 et seq.) has shown the true value 

 of that name.
