2023BIBHB0063778052023. Hardcover. New. About The Book: On the whole this book is confined to species actually known to be extinct but a few are included of which a small number is still known to exist because firstly there seems no doubt that they will vanish soon and secondly as in the case of Notornis it was necessary to clear up certain misconceptions and contradictory statements. In the case of a few species believed to be quite extinct it is possible that some individuals may still exist in little known parts of their range while on the other hand it is more than likely that several of the species referred to in my lecture as threatened with destruction have already ceased to live. This may also be the case with some birds not alluded to at all. A bird usually stated to be extinct is Monarcha dimidiata from Rara-Tonga but in March 1901 two specimens male and female were procured by the Earl of Ranfurly. Doubtless this is a species which will one day vanish entirely but at present it hardly comes within the scope of this work.
