@inproceedings{Williams2014IslandDO, title={Island differentiation of New Zealand's extinct mergansers (Anatidae: Mergini), with description of a new species from Chatham Island: correction and addition}, author={Murray Williams and A. Tennyson and D. Sim}, year={2014} }
An ambiguous designation of the holotype of Chatham Island Merganser Mergus milleneri is corrected, and an overlooked discovery of a bone of this merganser associated with a Polynesian midden dating from the early 16th Century is appraised.
