Range : — New Zealand (breeding) ; Chatham Islands 

 (breeding); ? Auckland Islands. 



Note : — We have examined the type of Tkinoryiis rossii 

 Gray, and consider it to be immature, as Buller first 

 conchided. It has never been found again on the Auckland 

 Islands, and we would suggest that the specimen was not 

 procured there, but at Auckland in the North Island. It 

 bears no original label, and McCormick states that " Only 

 one Plover was observed and no specimen obtained at the 

 Auckland Islands.'^
