I Find this bird to be a native of New Holland as well as New Zea- - 
land, but not very common; and varies in fome particulars; it is 
fmaller, and wants the white ftreak over the eye, in the fame manner 
as feen in Mu/: Carif.i. pl. 14. I remark in a fpecimen feen by me, 
that the fpur of the wing feems large and formidable, In another va- 
riety, I obferve the bill to be two inches long, more bent at the tip: 
noftrils in a deep furrow of the bill : total length fourteen inches : the 
general colour of the plumage much the fame as in the others on the 
upper parts: fides of the head, and ftreak over the eye, pale afh co- 
lour: all beneath deeper afh colour: thighs feathered to the knees. 
This was brought from Lord Howe's I/land.
