There are four examples of this species in the Tring 

 Museum, two from Stewart Island and two from the 

 Macquarie Islands. 



Mr. Ogilvie-Grant also pointed out that two species of 

 Flycatchers of the genus Pseudogerygone are met with in 

 New Zealand — one, P. flaviventris (G. B. Gray), apparently 

 inhabiting both the North and South Islands; the other,. 

 P. igata (Q. & G.), being probably confined to the South 

 Island. 



Several examples of the latter sent home by Lord Banfurly 

 from Dusky Sound, South Island, proved to be new to 

 the Museum Collection.

The Flycatchers of the genus Pseudogerygone from the 

 North and South Islands, though apparently perfectly dis- 

 tinct from one another, have been included under one heading 

 by Sir Walter Buller, and by ornithologists generally. 

 Previous to the arrival of the birds sent home by Lord 

 Banfurly from South Island, the British Museum did not 

 possess examples of the true P. igata, and, as will be seen 

 from the lists given below, all the specimens in the collection 

 appear to have been procured in the North Island. P. igata 

 may be distinguished from P. flaviventris, G. B. Gray, by 

 the lighter olive-brown colour of the upper parts, which 

 shades into a warmer tint on the rump and upper tail-
