DESCRIPTION OF TELESPIZA ULTIMA FROM NIHOA 
ISLAND. 
BY WILLIAM ALANSON BRYAN. 
CONTINUING my note on the discovery of a new land bird on 
the island of Nihoa, which appeared in the January, 1916, number 
of ‘The Auk,’ I am now able to report that through the interest 
of Lieut. W. H. Munter, specimens have been secured which on 
comparison with the “Laysan finch,” Telespiza cantans Wilson, 
fully warrant the separation of the Nihoa birds under the new 
name that was only withheld in my former article for want of a 
definite type specimen. 
In view. of -the-fact.that--the-.species. under consideration is 
1 Not breeding at this locality,
