 Birds, p. 106 (1st Ed., 1848). Cassin, U. S. Exph Exped., Mam. 

 and Oi-nith., p. 119, Atlas, pi. VI. C. tropicus Gmelln. J./aZa of the 

 natives. 



Totus fuliginosus cincreo tinctus, rostro et tarsis nigris. Lon. tot. 

 poll. 18.8 in. S alar. 12 in., caud. 8 in., rostr., 2.2 in., tarsus 2.5 in. 

 (Cassin.) 



Several of these birds were seen by Messrs. Brigham and Mann in 

 the forests of Koua at an elevation of six thousand feet. All speci- 

 mens have hitherto come from Kealakeakua in this district of Hawaii. 

 The caw is not unlike that of the American species. Probably no 

 other Corvus exists on the Hawaiian grouji, and this species is by no 

 means abundant.
