A fairly rare visitor amongst tbo birds which occasionally appear on the Now Zealand const was picked up on die beach at New Brighton. The bird was xaken to the Canterbury Museum, and identified by the curator as a Giant Petrel, or (macroncctus gigantous), ono of a variety of the same group of birds as the albatross and mutton birds. Probably through stormy weather it was blown from the neighbourhood of the Chathams across to the coast of the Dominion. # When found it was very hungry, and since its capture has been mating up for the fast enforced upon it at ©very available opportunity, lb will bo kept as a specimen for the Museum, making the third of its kind there.
