2. The Apteryx of New Zealand.—With the skin of the Notornis 
Manteilli deapihed in the January number of this Journal, xi, 102, 
Mr. Waiter Mantell sent the skins of three birds of the genus Apteryx ; 
one of them is the small and rare species figured and described 
in the Zoological Transactions of London, by Mr. Gould, as A. 
Owenii. The other skins were supposed to be of the common species, 
generally known as the Apteryx australis; of which some thirty 
or forty specimens have be nt to Europe, and are distributed 
in the public and private zoological collections of England an the 
continent. One of Mr. Mantell’s i s remarkable for its 
large size, and short and strong legs; but though seen by many emi- 
nent ornithologists in London, it was regarded o only as a very large and 
fine exa mple of the common species, till Mr. Bartlett, the eminent 
sega Mr. Bartlett therefore drew up a description of this bird to 
before the gr aelrs Society : gi fortunately first applied to » 
eri iibed by Dr. Shae. i in 1812, and which at the death of that eosaralit 
passed into Lord Derby’s possession. ea n receiving this bird, Mr. 
wel found that it was identical with the supposed new species sent 
by Mr.- Walter Mantel! ; the latter ke is the true Apte Sie 
australis of Dr. Shaw, and only: the second pecs known in ae
