know the haunts of the birds, and the art has ahnost fallen into dis- 

 use. Messrs. Brigham and Mann, during their recent visit to the 

 islands, found great difficulty in obtaining specimens of the mountain 

 birds, of which they saw great numbers, and only procured some four 

 or five species. The former found a bird on Molokai, which the na- 

 tives said was a " malihini," or stranger, and portions were placed in 

 the collection of the Society, but have not yet been identified. 



The comj^iler has made a few additions to the birds already noticed. 

 He would here acknowledge the material assistance in this work, 

 rendered him by Wm. T. Brigham, Esq., of Boston, whose notes were 

 placed at his disposal.
