Lord Howe Island last observed C1919 disappeared after introduction of rats from June 1918 nine-day Mokambo grounding at Ned’s Beach, then of 100 owls introduced to control the rats ca. 1920. First described by Linne Syst. Nat. 1758. Distribution: 2. Norfolk Island. First described by Latham Index Ornith. Suppl. 1801.
