The grey heron (Ardea cinerea) was placed on the Suspense List of the 1970 OSNZ Checklist, as the Checklist Committee could not confirm the existence of an 1898 specimen reported by Buller. Buller’s “third collection,” including this heron, is in Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. The grey heron should be readmitted to the main New Zealand list, but under the name A. c. jouyi Clark rather than A. c. rectirostris Gould.
