CAR BO MAJOR (FORBES). 



" Phalacrocorax novaezealandiae var. major " Forbes, Trans. N.Z. Inst. XXIV, p. 189 

 (1892 — no proper description). 



DR. FORBES only informed us that this shag was of greater 

 dimensions than Ph. novaezealandiae (a very closely allied form of 

 Ph. carbo). It would be interesting to know more about it, and, 

 especially, if this extinct form was incapable of flight, like Ph. harrisi of the 

 Galapagos Islands. 



Habitat : New Zealand.
