Further notes on the distribution of the myna

Notornis, 5 (7), 210-210

J.M. Cunningham (1954)

Article Type: Paper

A few additional records received or published up to mid 1953 show that the expansion is continuing in Auckland and the Bay of Plenty. No important change is noted from Rotorua, Manawatu-Taranaki, or Hawke’s Bay-East Cape, but there are still fewer left in the Wairarapa.
















The dates of arrival of the shining cuckoo in New Zealand in 1952

Notornis, 5 (6), 192-195

J.M. Cunningham (1953)

Article Type: Paper

In 1952 a pilot study was made of the dates of arrival of the shining cuckoo (Chalcites lucidus) in New Zealand. An indication of the rigorous methods of ensuring the validity of reports, from persons not known personally to the writer, is given. It is indicated that reports from the same persons for a number of years are desirable. There are several August records, the earliest being August 7, but most reports are towards the end of September.
