Excerpt from Catalogue of the Birds of New Zealand: With Diagnoses of the Species
The principal object of this part of the list is to enable country resi dents to give us accounts of the diffusion of introduced birds in their districts, and, with this in view, I hope that the Secretaries of the Acclimatisation Societies will publish more complete and detailed accounts of the progress made in acclimatisation.
Birds of doubtful authenticity as natives are marked with an asterisk and a note of interrogation (2) is placed before those species which appear to me to be of doubtful value, and these doubtful species, in all cases, follow immediately after the one with which they will perhaps have to be united.
