THE AVIFAUNA OF LAYSAN 



AND THE NEIGHBOURING ISLANDS, 



With a complete history to date of tiie Birds of the Hawaiian Possessions, 



By The Rt.-Hon. Loed Rothschild, Ph.D., F.R.S., &c. 



Illustrated with 55 finely coloured plates, by Keulema^is and Thwburn, 26 collotype 

 plates, and 2 plates of generic characters. 



This sumptuous work deals with an interesting portion of the Pacific Islands. 

 In the words of the author, " scattered about in a north-westerly direction from the 

 Sandwich Islands are a number of small islands, rocks, and reefs — namely, Necker 

 Isle, French Frigate Shoals, Gardner Island, Maro Reef, Lisianky, Laysan or Moller 

 Island, and many others. Although ornithologists have had their eyes on these 

 islands for a long time, they have not been trodden by the foot of any ornithologist 

 until I sent my collector, Henry Palmer, to explore them." The work deals chiefly 

 with Laysan, on which island land-birds are found, biit there is a complete list of 

 birds of the Sandwich Islands and a list of species introduced into the islands.
