Proposed Series of Supplementary/ Plates. 



The author having received the following Memorial, thinks it only due to those who have signed 

 it, thus to make known their wishes — and at the same time to add that he will have great plea- 



r 



sure in complying with so flattering a request, provided a sufficient number of Subscribers can be 



obtained. 



" Novemher — December 1872. 



u 



The undersigned Subscribers to Mr. Buller's ' Birds of New Zealand,' believing that the 



very remarkable avifauna of that country deserves full illustration, and knowing that many of the 

 species of New-Zealand birds have hitherto been figured only in various works, some of which are 

 difficult of access, request Mr. Buller to issue a Series of Supplementary Plates, so as to include 



* 



a coloured representation of every species of New-Zealand bird.
