plumage. The bill and legs are of a yellowish-brown 
colour, the bill rather paler than the legs. 
This curious bird is a native of New Zealand, from 
the south coast of which it was brought by Captain 
Barcley of the Providence^ by whom, through the kind 
interposition of my friend W. Evans, Esq, it was pre* 
sented to myself. The second plate represents, in 
their natural size, the bill, wing, leg, and a feather of 
this bird.
