Apteryx. Several bits of new information respecting the different existing 
species of this genus are given. A. australis, of which two more specimens 
have been obtained, there having hitherto been but two known, seems to 
belong to the province of Otago, the extreme south of New Zealand. A. 
. oweni is plentiful in the province of Nelson, where A. maxima is supposed 
also to occur; but of the latter it does not appear that a specimen has ever 
been obtained by any naturalist. A. mantelU,\s J\iQ common species of the 
North Island. It is not improbable that on the west coast of the South 
Island a fifth species exists, resembling A. oweni, but smaller, with more 
slender legs and a longer bill. W. Buller, FiSS. Orn. N. Zeal. pp. 14, 16.
