Although the description given by Kaulfuss of his LL. zdrbuscula 1s somewhat at variance with 
ours, yet we are of opinion that the same species was intended by him as that which we have here 
represented. It comes from the same group of islands ; and at Owhyhee was found so long ago as 
during the voyage of Captain Vancouver.
