 * Phalacrocorax novaezealandiae var. major Forbes, Trans. N.Z. Inst. XXIV, p. 189 (1892—no proper description).

R. FORBES only informed us that this shag was of greater dimensions than ''Ph. novaezealandiae (a very closely allied form of Ph. carbo''). It would be interesting to know more about it, and, especially, if this extinct form was incapable of flight, like ''Ph. harrisi'' of the Galápagos Islands.

Habitat: New Zealand.
