THE ROUGH-FACED SHAG. The rough-faced shag, a handsome bird, is found only on a few rocky islets in Queen Charlotte Sound. It is absolutely protected by law. As it is purely a marine feeder and much in danger of extermination, every effort should be made by all to save it from its threatened fate. It is dark above and white underneath, the whole of the upper part of the head being black. There is a white area on the back and wings.
