387 



33. Corvus hawaiiensis Peale. Hawaiian Crow; UlalA. — [No. — .^ 

 $, Hawaii, April 8, 1896; No. — r No data.] The two crows are 

 mounted. From them I take the following measurements : 



34. Acridotheres tristis {Linn). Mina. — [i pair, mounted. This is a 

 pest introduced by Dr. Hillebrand.] There are in all ten specimens of this 

 species in the collection. The bird has a rather unenviable reputation in 

 the islands. Experiments are under way at the Bishop Museum whereby 

 it is hoped to establish more nearly the exact relation which the Mina 

 bears to his friends and foes. 



35. Vestiaria coccinea (Forster.). Invi. — [25, $ .] This is a young 

 bird and the change of plumage exhibited is very interesting. There is 

 also an adult specimen in the collection from Maui. 



- 36. Himatione sanguinea ((?w^/.). Apapane. — [No. 14, i^ . This bird 

 is common all over the group and furnishes the crimson feathers for 

 decorative purposes. It is also called Akapane.] This specimen is from 

 Maui. The feathers, however, were not used nearly as extensively as were 

 those of the previous species. 



37. Chlorodrepanis wilsoni {Roths.). Maui Amakihi. — [No. 17, $^ 

 No. — ? Amakihi, Drepanis Jiava. By some collectors the name of the 

 Amakihi is said to be //. stejnegeri]. I am not able to state how the 

 name of the Kaui bird should have been given to the Maui bird. Perhaps 

 ' off hand.' 



38. Oreomyza newtoni {Rot/is.). — An adult bird with the breast l->right 

 lemon yellow, the upper parts olive green, and with a straight bill. 



' 39. Oreomyza flammea ( JVi/so/i). Kakawahie.- — A male bird in rich 

 scarlet plumage. It probably came into the collection through Mr. Flood 

 from Molokai, which, I believe, is the only place where it has been thus 

 far taken. 



40. Hemignathus procerus Cad. Kaui akialoa. — [No — ? Hanapepe 

 Valley, Kauai.] This specimen seems to have come fi-om Mr. Gav's 

 collection. 



41. Hemignathus affinis 7?o///.';. — [From Maui. $]. 



42. Heterorhynchus wilsoni Roths. — [Nukupuu. Brilliant Half-bill. 

 Kona, Hawaii, 4000-5000 ft.] 



43. Psittacirostra psittacea GmeJ. Ou. — [Ou. Hawaii. P. psittacea 



$■-] 



44. Rhodacanthis palmeri iPo/Z/s. — An adult $. 



45. Moho nobilis (^l/errew.) O-o. — [O-o. Hawaii. A. nobilis, $ .]
