88 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD [Vol. I 



When Pucheran reviewed Lesson's types he compared 

 the bird to C. chalconotus Gray, and in the monograph 

 of these birds in the Cat. Birds Brit. Mus. the name was 

 questionably placed in the synonymy of that species 

 from Sharks Bay ; it could scarcely be that bird, as 

 C. chalconotus was an endemic New Zealand form. The 

 description, of course, applies perfectly to this species.
