BIRDS FROM HAWAIIAN ISLANDS — STEJNEGER. 



Sula piscator (Linn.). 



Red-footed Booby. A. 



One specimen, adding a new species to the Hawaiian list. Bill and 

 feet red. 



" The other day, when the men were out fishing, this bird came up to 

 the canoe and tried to take the fish off their hooks." (Knudsen in, litt.). 



Phaethon rubiicauda Bodd. 



Red-tailed Tropic Bird. Ula. 



Four specimens of this species, which has already been noted by S. 

 B. Dole as common. 



Chasiempis sclateri Ridgw. 



Sclater'a Spotted-winged Flycatcher. . Amakaki. 



A single specimeu, marked as female; differs in no way from the 

 other four previously received. The basal half of the lower mandible is 

 waxy yellow, as in these, and the white on the tail likewise restricted, 

 especially on the other webs, and suffused with tawny. 



Measurements. 



Chasiempis dolei Stejn. 



Dole's Flycatcher. Apekepeke. 



Two specimens, male and female, agreeing in all essential points with 

 the origiual specimens, thus coufinniug the validity of the species. No. 

 110784, the supposed male, differs slightly in the tinge of the tawny of 

 the fore neck and chest, it being in this specimen more purplish and 

 less yellowish, while the white wing markings are slightly suffused with 

 the same color round their edges. 



The material now before me shows plainly that the entirely black bill 

 and the more extended and pure white on the tail-feathers are additional 

 characters separating Ch. dolei from Ch. sclateri, inhabiting the same 

 island. 



A third specimen (No. 116782), also marked male, has even a stronger 

 wash of tawny on the wing spots than the one mentioned above, and 

 even the back and rump are suffused in the same way, but bill and 

 tail are typical Ch. dolei. The differences may be due to age, although 

 the specimen shuws no indication of being immature. It should be re- 

 marked, however, that this specimen exhibits considerable abrasion of 

 the wing-feathers, while the others are quite fresh. It is therefore
