46 since the above description was written I have had the pleasure of examining the Loxops in the British Museum collections and tinile 

 agree with Mr. Rothschild in separating the Oahu species; and with Mr. Wilson in placing ztntvnlioltnh. Roths., a.s a synonym of /-. ru/tt 

 (Blox.). 



4^ Should be held sub-generically distinct from the other three members of the genus on account of the stronger bill, smoky loral patch 

 and general color which is always diffefent from typical /aj.vo/):,.
