 Creadion cinereus id. ib. p. 163. 



Range : — Both Islands (breeding). 



Note : — There does not seem to be much doubt that 

 Buller's C. cinereus is the immature plumage of this species. 

 If, however, as Buller contended, the juveniles of the North 

 Island form differ, then it may be that two subspecies are 

 here confused. We have not sufficient authentic material 

 to make a pronouncemexit. "VVe have admitted as of family 

 rank this genus and also the preceding. They would appear 

 to have little close connection with Sturnus, and the present 

 form much more vividly recalls the Icteridse.
