'A History of the Birds of New Zealand', 1888 by Sir Walter Lawry Buller is available from the New Zealand Electronic Text Centre at Victoria University of Wellington. Some of the images above were spot-cleaned and a few more examples were saved in this set (that's the majority from the publication). {The 2-volume series is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 New Zealand Licence}.
