BLACK ALBATROSS
AN UNUSUAL VISITOR FOUND IN THE NORTH [from our own correspondent] WHANGAREI, Saturday A black albatross, which is an unusual visitor to the North, was found on Wednesday by the members of Mr. C. Holembv's family at Ahipara, which is in the vicinity of the Ninety-Mile Beach. The bird was found in one of Mr. Holemby's paddocks in an exhausted condition. It gave the impression of having flown a long distance, and that it had landed to die. It has a total wing span of six feet, with a four-inch bill, arid has the appearance of being a young bird. Mr. Holcunbv is feeding the bird for a few days, and when it has gained sufficient strength lie intends to releaso it.
