Dr. Buller considers th is a doubtful New Zealand species,
but, as Dr. Finsch points out, Peale collected his Cormora
n t to wliich he gave th e name of purpuragula in Mamia
Bay and th e Bay of Islands. I t is n o t y et quite certain
whether th is bird of P e a k ’s is synonymous with th e true
P . sulcirostris (Brandt.), and I therefore restore for the
present Peale’s title. (Cf. Fimch, l.c.)

I follow Dr. Finsch in believing th a t th e Cormorant of
South Africa and Australia is th e same as th e ordinaiy
species of Europe. I have compared adult Englislr specimens
w ith others from th e southern seas, and could find no
difference.

Mr. G. R. Gray (l.c.) notices th a t th e specimen of P.
melanoleucus procured in New Zealand hy th e Antartic
Expedition, “ differs from th e Australian specimens by th e
white spot of th e wing-coverts,” and Dr. Finsch has gone
into th e intricate synonymy of th e species. Dr. Buller
does not seem to have examined th e specimen in the
Museum, and I therefore hun ted it up from th e large collection
which we possess of Cormorants in skin, and I
find th a t it constitutes a new species, wliich I name P.
fim ch ii in honour of Dr, Finsch, whose wonderful
acquaintance with New Zealand Ornithology is displayed
in all he writes on th e subject. I t may be described as
follows:—
P. similis P. melanokueo sed tectricibus alarum medianis
exterioribus albis, speculum vel fasciam alarem formantibus;
axillaribus tan tum nigils, nec corporis lateribus u t in P.
melanoleucus nigris, distinguendus.

Dr. Finscli thinks th a t this bird is not tlie true
Aptenodytes chrysocome of Forster and he retains Gray’s
later piililislied title. Dr. Cones, however, unites th e two
species in his Monograph, (I. c).

Eudyptes vitta ta, Fimch, Ihis, 1815, p . 112.
This new species has only lately been described by Dr.
Finsch, who remarks "E. vittata, if indeed a true Eudyptes,
is easily distinguished from all other members of the
Penguin gi-oup by its broad w hite superciliary streak, which
ru n s from th e base of the bill to th e back of th e head, but
which does not consist of elongated feathers.” The single
specimen a t present known was procured a t Dunedin, and
th e description was communicated by Captain F. W.
Hutton, one of tlie most enthusiastic of New Zealand
naturalists, and particularly well-known as an authority on
th e sea-birds of th e southern hemisphere.

The same paper in which Dr. Finsch describes th e foregoing
bird, contains a description of th is new species by
Captain Hutton. Dr. Eiusch s a y s :—“ This species cannot
be confounded with any other, regard being paid to th e je t-
black coloration of its under surface.”

Dr. Finsch writes of this new species, tlia t it is “ easilv
distinguishable from E. minor, Gm. (= E . undina, Gould),
by th e broad white edge which borders th e iving anteriorl}'
and posteriorly, and by th e Avliite patch on th e upper tail-
coverts. The bill is stouter aud has a much more strongly
marked aud deeper sulcus.”
