of a Voyage round the World. 63 



5. Myzomela jugularis (Peale). 

 Myzomela jugularis Gadow, Cat. 13. ix. p. 136. 



6 ; 6 j uv - Iris black; bill black; tarsi and toes brown, 

 soles yellow. 



This Honey-sucker was fairly common in the high bushes 

 near Suva. 



6. Zosterops explokator Layard. 

 Zosterops explorator Gadow, Cut. B. ix. p. 172. 



$ . Iris pale brown; bill dark brown, base of lower 

 mandible blue; tarsi and toes lead-blue. 



This White-eye was rather common at Suva. I usually 

 saw it in small flocks, especially in the gardens of the town. 



7. Aplonis vitiensis Layard. 



Aplonis vitiensis Sharpe, Cat. 13. xiii. p. 131. 

 ? . Iris hazel ; bill black ; tarsi and toes brown. 



The example obtained was the only one seen. I shot it 

 close to a mangrove-swamp, where it was sitting in some 

 high bushes. 



8. Halcyon solomoxis (Ramsay). 



Halcyon solontonis Sharpe, Cat. B. xvii. p. 280. 



? . Iris black; bill black, base of lower mandible white; 

 tarsi and toes brown. 



I shot my example of this Kingfisher in a mangrove- 

 swamp near Suva. The range usually ascribed to H. so/omonis 

 extends only as far eastwards as the New Hebrides, and the 

 Fijis seem to be outside of it, But the specimen does not 

 agree with the type of H suvensis Sharpe, and matches 

 examples of H. solomonis in every respect. 



Only Halcyon sacra, which is quite a different species, is 

 mentioned in Wiglesworth's list (' Aves Polynesia?/ p. 9). 



9. Carpophaga latrans (Pcalc). 

 Carpuphuya latrans Salvad. Cat. B. xxi. p. 202. 



£ . Iris red ; bill dark brown ; tarsi and toes dull red. 



This specimen was purchased in the flesh at Suva. I did 

 not see living examples of the species, which is peculiar to 

 the Fiji group.
