BIZIURA LAUTOURI" FORBES. 



Biziura lautouri Forbes, Trans. N.Z. Inst. XXIV, p. 188 (1892 — nomen nudum). 



R. FORBES, unfortunately, gives no description whatever of this bird. 

 It would be interesting to know something about it, and especially if 

 its powers of flight were impaired, as it seems to have been the case 



many extinct birds.
