We are in possession of the type of Latham's description 

 of the male and upper yellow-headed figure. It was marked 

 n. 79 (Sale Cat. 4270) ; and a habitat is given, Sandwich Is- 

 lands. Temminck (PL Col. /. c.) states that he saw the two 

 specimens in the collection of Sir A. Lever, and thought that 

 they were doubtless collected during Capt. Cook's expedition. 

 The fate of the other specimen figured by Latham is unknown 

 to me. In the year 1840 a male, and a young male collected 

 at Enero, Oban, 1837, were acquired from M. Deppe, of Berlin. 

 Even the older one differs from Latham's male bird, the mid- 

 dle of the breast and belly and the thighs being whitish.

The specimen from the Leverian Museum {Merops phrygius,

 the collection.
