bones have however been discovered in the neighbourhood of Lake Eyre 
which have been referred to this genus, but have been regarded as con- 
stituting a different smaller species. 
Further bones have been met with as fossils in New Zealand and the 
Chatham Islands, which have also been considered as belonging to the 
present genus, and moreover are differentiated as being specifically 
separable by their slightly larger size, but otherwise very similar. It is 
suggested that the New Zealand birds might have differed in coloration.
