18. Porphyrio melanotus jVew/. — [23, J. ' Sultana Bird.' Caught in 

 Waialua, Oahu, by ' Kauka ' Wilder.] This bird is said to have been 

 introduced into the islands. I have not been able so far to find out who 

 brought it here. 



19. Fulica alai Peale. Hawaiian Coot; Alae keokeo. — [32, $. 

 Mud-hen.] This adult mounted specimen measures, wing, 7.10 ; tail, 1.50; 

 tarsus, i.So; midtoe and claw, 3.00; hindtoe, 1.00; bill, with shield, 2.00. 



20. Crymophilus fulicarius). Red Phalarope. — This interesting 

 specimen makes the third record of this species being taken on the group.

 Stilted Plover.] 



22. Tringa acuminata {Horsf.). Sharp-tailed Sandpiper. — [194, 

 5. Mounted by Mr. Newell.] This specimen, one in the Bishop 

 Museum, and one listed bj Dr. Schauinsland from Laysan, are the only 

 ones that have come to notice, though it will without doubt be taken from 

 time to time in company with the winter shore birds from the mainland. 

 The specimen is an adult winter bird. 



23. Heteractitis incanus (Gwe/.J). Wandering Tatler ; Ulili. — [26, 

 $. Ulili. Caught at the Mailuku streams, Maui.] 



24. Limosa lapponica baueri {Naum.). Pacific Godwit. — Though 

 the specimen is without data it was probably secured by Mr. Newell on 

 Maui. A specimen in possession of Mr. Francis Gay, the one listed by 

 Dr. Schauinsland from Laysan, and the present specimen furnish the 

 basis on which the record of the species on the islands depends. The two 

 which I have examined are winter visitors.
