very Ihort, and confifts of fixteen fliff feathers, but is fcarce 

 perceivable, except in the feathers appearing a little elongated at 

 that part: legs dull red: websdufky : claws black. 



This fpecies is found among the rocks on the fouthern parts Place and 

 of New Zealand, where it is not unfrequent ; but in the greater!: 

 plenty at Dnjky Bay. They make deep burrows on the fides of 

 the hills, in which they lay their eggs : thefe holes are fo thick in 

 fome parts, that a perfon is fcarce able to walk three or four fteps 

 without falling into one of them up to the knees. The inhabi- 

 tants of Queen Charlotte's Sound kill the birds with flicks, and, 

 after fkinning them, efteem the fiefh as good food. They are 

 known at New Zealand by the name of Korbra. Thefe birds 

 I have found to vary both in fize and colour : fome are much 

 fmaller than others, quite black above, and meafure only thir- 

 teen inches in length : others rather larger, and of a plain lead- 

 colour on the upper parts, and the wings black ; though all are 

 white, or nearly fo, beneath. The legs in thefe two laft are 

 marked with black at the ends of the toesj and the claws are 

 black.
