THE BIRDS OF NEW ZEALAND. 



By WALTER LA WRY BULLER, Sc.D., F.L.S., &c. 



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- 

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

 obtained. 



" November — December 1872. 

 " 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.
