7. y^strelata hypoleuca Salvin. Boxin Petrel. — A specimen in fine 

 adult plumage and well mounted. 



8. Phaethon lepturus Lacep. d- Daiidin. White-tailed Tropic 

 Bird. — \_$ and 5 ^o. 2; Juv., No. — .' ; Tropic Bird; native name 

 'Koae.'] The three birds, two fine adults and the young, taken on Maui, 

 show the followincf measurements : 



9. Anas wyvilliana Scl. Hawaiian Duck; Koloa maoli. — [43, $, 

 mounted.] 



10. Spatula clypeata. Shoveller. — [36, ^, mounted, Bro. Matthias ; 

 passes by the name of ' Broad-bill ' or Shoveller.] So far as I am able 

 to make out, this is typical ^S. clypeata in the fully adult plumage. 



11. Dafila acuta. Pintail; Koloa mapu. — [37, $,37«, (?. It passes 

 as Pintail or Sprigtail.] 



12. Charitonetta albeola. Buffle-head. — [ No. — .' $ , mounted, Bro. 

 Matthias.] The bird is in perfect winter plinnage. This is the first 

 record of the capture of this wide-ranging form in the Hawaiian Islands, 

 though it is common enough along the west coast of America; breetiing 

 far north. The specimen was shot on the island of Maui. 



13. Nesochen sandvicensis (F/^.). Hawaiian Goose; Nene. — [45, 

 1S9 $, mounted. The natives call the bird Nene.] 



14. Branta nigricans. Black Brant. — [35, ?. Brant.] The records 

 state : " This individual had for a number of months been the bane of the 

 hunters that were wont to shoot the ducks ib.nt frequent the ponds in the 

 neighborhood of Spreckelsville and Kahului. This goose made herself 

 obnoxious by giving alarm at the least danger, thus causing the ducks to 

 fly away. She was continually in their companj'." This specimen is in 

 fully adult plumage and is the second to be taken here. 



15. Nycticorax nycticorax naevius. Black-crowned Night Heron; 

 ' AuKU KOHiLi.' — [ 10, $, Speckled Heron ; Mawaiians call it Auku. 29, 

 $, caught in leo Valley, Maui, by Mr. Ani< n Foustino. The Hawaiian 

 name is Auku kohili, when it is grow n. 39, ^ . ] 



The young and adult of this form have long puzzled the Kanaka as well 

 as the Haoli ornithologists. It is with some reluctance that they now ad- 

 mit that they are one and the same species. 



16. Proganula palmeri i^z-o^. Laysan i^AiL. — [ 5 ,' Wingless ' Rail.] 



17. Gallinula sandvicensis Streets. Hawaiian G.vllinule; Alae. —
