Finscu.—Further Remarks on some New Zealand Birds. 208 
Prion vittatus. Gml. 
A careful comparison of the specimens in the Leiden Museum has led 
me to believe that Pr. banksii will be found to be inseparable from Pr. 
vittatus. On the other hand I convince myself of the validity of Pr. turtur 
and ariel. 
Graculus chalconotus. Gray. 
I have lately had the pleasure of examining a specimen of this excellent 
species, forwarded to me through the kindness of Captain Hutton. Graculus 
glaucus, in the Leiden Museum, which is labelled (but most probably 
erroneously) ‘Terre magellanique,” and is a specimen collected by the 
French Expedition, belongs also to this species. 
Graculus finschi. Sharpe. 
Mr. Sharpe has separated the specimen in the British Museum with a 
white spot on the wing-coverts from G. brevirostris. I long ago suspected 
that this would not be a true G. melanoleucus nor brevirostris, which latter I 
cannot distinguish from the former. My G. melanoleucus (‘* Journ. of Orn.,” 
1874, p. 228) does not belong to G. finschi, of which I have not yet seen a 
specimen. 
Sula serrator. Banks. 
Captain Hutton kindly sent me a New Zealand specimen, which agrees 
with those from Australia. 
Eudyptula albosignata. Finsch. 
Dr. Buller, without having seen a specimen, declares this species to be 
identical with Eu. wndina. I must refer him to my description (‘ Trans., 
N.Z. Inst.,” Vol. VIL, p. 236) which will show that it is not the difference in — 
size as Dr. Buller thinks, but the strongly marked difference in the coloration 
of the flippers that induced me to make it a new species. As soon as I 
get intermediate specimens, I shall be the first to withdraw this species. 
Eu. undina I know very well, but cannot separate it from Ew. minor. 
Eudyptes vittata, Finsch, and 
Eudyptes atrata. Hutton. 
Are two new species lately added to the New Zealand Ornis (vide, * This,”’ 
1875, p. 112-114), 
Eudyptes chrysolopha. Brant. 
To this species belongs diadematus, Schleg. (Cat. No. 2), said to be from 
New Zealand, but only on the authority of a dealer (Parsudaky), and there- 
fore uncertain. 
I append the description of a new Penguin from the Macquarie Islands, 
in the Leiden Museum, as being connected with the New Zealand avi- 
fauna, aal
