TAKAHE VALLEY
»ir,-in your issue of April 22, in the article "The Egg Came After the Chick," Mr. Sorensen describes the exploration of a new valley where takahe were found; "there were numerous signs, and soon nest sites, old and new, were found and at least four birds observed at close range." But in the local paper of April 27 a long telegram from Wellington quotes Dr. Falla as saying, "that the total area inhabited by the notornis or takahe was only about 400 yards square." Will you please comment on this apparent contradiction?
