It still remains to be proved whether C. nuchalis really 

 occurs in Mindanao and Mindoro. Dr. Kutter's specimens 

 were obtained in the district of Baatan^ to the north of 

 Manila, while all Mr. Whitehead's birds were found in the 

 mountains of the extreme north-cast of the island.

I have no doubt that P. griseipectus is the male and 

 P. carola the female of one and the same species. Mr. 

 Whitehead writes : — " The two Carpophagas are, in my

 them ; but I want some more females, as I have only sent one, 

 and that a bad specimen."

VIII. — Notes on some Hawaiian Birds. 

 By R. C. L. Perkins. 



In ' The Ibis ' for January 1893 (pp. 101-112) there were 

 published some notes of mine on collecting in Kona, Hawaii. 

 I propose now to supplement that paper with notes on some 

 of the more interesting birds since observed in other parts 

 of the Hawaiian group, while at the same time I shall have 

 occasion to refer briefly to some of those species noticed in 

 my former paper. In some genera the habits of the slightly
