Forster describes a „variety" of this species from Tahiti (native name, „Etaowe"), and another 

 from Raiatea („Tera-o"). They appear to be two distinct species, — the latter perhaps P. obscurus, Gm.; 

 but the descriptions are insufficient for their identification.

(E. hypoleuca Salvin (Ibis, 1888, 359). It would appear that this species, like P. cuneatus 

 and P. nativitatis, came from Krusenstern Island to the west of the Sandwich Islands rather than from the 

 island of the same name in the Marshall Islands (cf. Seebohm, Ibis 18!)1, 192; Lister, P. Z. S. 1891, 

 295). Cdnsequently, it does not fall within the bounds of Polynesia as defined in these pages.
