BIRDS OF NEW ZEALAND NOT FIGURED BY BULLER. 
In the immature all have a white chin, surrounded by a dark neck-hand. 
No white wing-bar or dorsal patch. 
We then get, from Campbell Island, true campbelli and colensoi. 
On Enderby Island, true colensoi and campbelli occur ; then how are we to 
distinguish even two forms, as colensoi must sometimes have the dark throat- 
band of the adult, entire as in No. 15, and campbelli must sometimes have the 
dark throat-band of the adult partly divided. From Auckland Island we get 
only colensoi. 
In the Rec. Auck. Inst. Mus., Vol. I., No. 3, p. 146, Sept. 23rd, 1932, Falla 
says that the only constant character that carunculatus has, which divides it 
from huttoni , is that the former has irregular patches of white feathers among 
the outer scapulars in both young and adult. 
And, on p. 140, says that clialconotus (huttoni) has carunculations, as has 
carunculatus.
