A black albatross, which is an unusual visitor to the north, was found last Wednesday by the members of Mr C. Holemby's family at Aliipara, which is in the vicinity of the Ninety-Mile Beach, states a Whangarei correspondent. The bird was found in one of Mr Ilolerqjyy’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, and has the appearance of being a young bird. Mr Ilolemby is feeding the bird for a few days, and when it has gained sufficient strength he intends to release it.
