The Whiskered Tern in New Zealand – first records

Notornis, 1979 (2), 185-195

Heather, B. D., Jones, E. B. (1979)

Article Type: Paper

The circumstances are given of the first recorded Whiskered Terns (Chlidonias hybridus) in New Zealand, at Lake Horowhenua, Levin in 1977 and 1978. Reasons are given why the birds were probably from Australia (C. h. javanicus). The field characters of the non-breeding adult plumage of the Whiskered Tern, Black Tern (C. niger) , White-winged Black Tern (C. leucopterus) and Black-fronted Tern (C. albostriatus) are compared. The nomenclature of Mees (1977) is used, at species level.

Observations on the naturalised distribution of the Red-vented bulbul in the Pacific, with special reference to the Fiji Islands

Notornis, 25 (2), 109-117

WATLlNG, D (1978)

Article Type: Paper

The present and past naturalized distribution of the Red-vented Bulbul, Pycnonotus cafer, in the Pacific is described. The species was first recorded in Fiji at the turn of the century and probably arrived with indentured Indian labour. Its restricted distribution in the Fiji lslands coincides with that of several weed species which constitute its main food supply and probably limit its spread.
