1" There is in our collection a specimen of Ptilotis carunculata (Gmel.), 

 which agrees well with Latham's description of the individual without 

 orange-colour under the throat (Gen. Synops. ii. 7. 33), and which may 

 perhaps have been in the Leverian Museum. Our bird also corresponds 

 well with Forster's description (Descr. An. ICo), except that the dimen- 

 sions are smaller. I believe it not improbable that it was obtained during 

 Cook's Voyage. The old catalogue gives Tongataboo as its habitat.
