Beach Patrols during 1962 covered a total distance of 731 miles and produced 1367 birds (55 species). Species are tabulated by month of occurrence and by the coastal zones in which they were found. Unusual species include Pygoscelis adeliae (first record), Pterodroma longirostris (third record), P. inexpectata, P. cooki, Procellaria cinerea, Puffinus pacificus (first record), Pelagodroma marina and Phoebetria palpebrata. The number of storm killed petrels was considerably less than in 1961.

The relationship between the Magenta petrel and the Chatham Island taiko

Notornis, 11 (3), 139-144

W.R.P. Bourne (1964)

Article Type: Paper

The Magenta petrel, Pterodroma magentae, is a distinct species, closely allied to the Pterodroma macroptera group of gadfly petrels, which agrees in size and appearance with the Chatham Island taiko, apparently last recorded alive at its breeding places between twenty-five and fifty years ago. A large collection of bones of this and other petrels from the Chatham Islands in the British Museum (Natural History) appears to include several other species also new to the group. It is suggested that some of these may still survive there.
