BIRDS OF NEW ZEALAND NOT FIGURED BY BULLER. 
Two immature are very like the immature of campbelli, except that the white 
throat patch seems more elongated. 
In seventeen adults in the Tring Museum from Auckland Island, half-a- 
dozen are crested ; and in two there are white hair-like feathers springing from 
above and behind the eye. Some have the white feathered part of the under¬ 
neck, in an ever-decreasing wedge, pointing to and culminating in the inter-ramal 
space. Some have the dark of the sides of the neck encroaching on to the white 
part, some have it almost joined except for a few white feathers. Two are like 
the campbelli mentioned above. 
We then have some immature from Auckland Island, very similar to 
immature from Campbell Island. Also some adults. We also have some adults 
from Auckland Island very similar to adults from Bounty Island. If anything, 
the white part of the neck in Bounty Island skins is wider. 
Out of seventeen adults only one has a distinct white dorsal patch and one 
has the patch indicated by a white feather ; all have the wing-bar. None of the 
crested adults has the dorsal patch. I thought that there maj' be some con¬ 
nection between the crest and the dorsal patch, but apparent ty there 
is not. 
In the Natural History Museum a skin of campbelli, from Enderby Island, 
has the black throat-band joined, but it is very narrow, and is thus 
indistinguishable from colensoi. 
Hypoleucus campbelli ranfurlyi (pi. 99). BOUNTY ISLAND SHAG. 
Adult. Crown of the head, nape and neck glossy purplish like the back, 
rump arid thighs ; fore-head, crest and sides of the face greenish ; tail, upper and 
under tail-coverts, and a line extending on either side to the thighs, black ; 
primaries black, edged with green ; secondaries green ; some of the wing-coverts 
white, forming a distinct wing-bar ; imder-surface from the inter-ramal space 
to the vent white, including the sides of the body ; axillaries dark green. Bill 
pale brown, darkest on the eulmen ; eyes brown, ring round eye purple ; bare 
skin on the face scarlet with black spots ; gular pouch scarlet, merging into 
orange near the bill; feet light flesh colour. Total length 675mm. : eulmen 55, 
wing 276, tail 128, tarsus 64. 
This form differs from colensoi in having the under-throat white. 
In the immature the white chin is divided from the remainder of the under¬ 
surface by a dark band as in colensoi and campbelli. 
In the brown stage the upper-surface is tinged with green and the tail seems 
to be longer, viz. 138 mm.
