1848 R. Owen in Proc. Zool. Soc. 8 The Notornis is a large modified form of the same natural family of the Grallæ as the Porphyrio and Brachypteryx.

1850 Proc. Zool. Soc. 209 Notice of the discovery..in the Middle Island of New Zealand, of a living specimen of the Notornis, a bird of the Rail family.

1870 H. A. Nicholson Man. Zool. II. lxvii. 449 The Notornis is much larger than the ordinary Coots, and..the wings are so rudimentary as to be useless for flight.

1930 W. R. B. Oliver N.Z. Birds 350 Suspecting that it was a Notornis, Connor took it to the station where he carefully skinned it, preserving both the skin and the bones.

1950 Discovery July 217/2 The news of the discovery of Notornis was announced on the following day—November 21 [1948].
