The mainland form of the Extinct New Zealand Coot, Fulica chathamensis prisca (Hamilton), is recorded from 11 North Island and 21 South Island localities. Two published North Island records are shown to be invalid. It is noted that the Chatham Island form, Fulica c. chathamensis (Forbes), has been recorded from 18 named localities on Chatham Island and is also present in many collections for which no more detailed locality record than “Chatham Island (s) ” is available.
