1905-1906. SIR WALTER BULLER. Supplement to the "Birds of New Zealand."
Two volumes.
(Though containing very interesting notes on extinct and threatened
birds, these two volumes are rather disappointing. They contain
very little that is new, and are mainly composed of quotations from
other people's writings or letters. Buller's former great book on
the Birds of New Zealand was a most important and creditable work,
though not without shortcomings. Our knowledge of New Zealand Birds
might have been brought up to date in his supplement, but we cannot
say that this has been done properly, and errors are frequent.)
1906. BALDWIN SPENCER. The King Island Emu.
In The Victorian Naturalist XXIII (1906), pp. 139, 140.
(_Dromaius minor_ described.)
