Anthus aucklandicus, G. R. Gray. (Auckland-Island Pipit.)

In the Trans. N.Z. Inst., vol. xxi., p. 388, Mr. Reischek, after consultation with Professor Thomas and Mr. Cheeseman, described a new Ground-lark or Pipit from Antipodes Island, and named it Anthus steindachneri, after the Director of the Imperial Museum at Vienna. I have not seen the type, but the description of the bird given by Mr. Reischek indicates no difference between this bird and Anthus aucklandicus.
