et secundi pogoniis externis nigricantibiis, iion fasciatis ; 

 subcaudalibus plumbeo-nigricantibus ; rostro flavido, basi 

 subrubente ; pedibus pallidis. Long. tot. circa 14", rostri 

 H", alffi 6", tarsi 2". 

 Hab. Viti-levu. 



One specimen. There are faint traces of white marginal lines 

 on the dark side-feathers. A typical Rallina, to be distin- 

 guished at first sight from all similar species by the extraordinary 

 colours of the wing-feathers. 



2. CUCULUS INFUSCATUS. 



Unicoloi*, fuscus, nitore nonnullo metallico^ subtus parum pallidior, 

 subcinerascens ; flexura alse alba ; remigibus dimidio basali 

 pogonii interni macula circumscripta alba notatis ; cauda 

 unicolore nigricante ; maxilla fusca, mandibula pallida ; 

 pedibus pallidis ; iridc flava. Long. tot. circa 9|", rostri 

 7'", alffi 41", caudEe 4" 3'", tarsi 10'". 

 Hab. Viti-levu. 

 One specimen. Belongs to the subgenus Cacomantis, and is 



certainly not the same as Cuculus simus of Peale, which latter 



bird Schlegel very erroneously identifies with C. cineraceus, 



Vigors. 



3. Pachycephala gr^ffii. 



Supra olivaceo-virescens, subtus intense vitellino-flava ; pileo 

 nitide nigro, postice fiavo limbato ; lineola inter nares et 

 oculos flava; subalaribus fiavis; fascia alari parum di- 

 stincta tectricum majorum apicibus formata flava; remi- 

 gibus nigris, extus olivaceo marginatis ; cauda nigricante ; 

 rostro nigro ; pedibus plumbeis. Long. tot. 6^', rostri 7^'", 

 alffi 3" 1"', caudse 2" 5'", tarsi 8§"'. 

 Hab. Viti-levu. 



One specimen. A typical species, easily to be distinguished 

 from seven or eight nearly allied birds by the dark gamboge- 

 yellow of the chin, &c. 



4. Pachycephala (?) optata. 



Supra obsolete olivaceo-brunnea, subtus cinnamomeo-rufa ; sub- 

 alaribus et sudcaudalibus rufis ; rostro nigro-plumbeo ; 

 pedibus plumbeis. Long. tot. circa 6" 2'", rostri 6'", alfe 

 3" 4"', caudse 2^", tarsi 10|'". 

 Hab, Ovalau.
