  many 
  of 
  its 
  liabits 
  it 
  differs 
  from 
  Chasiempis 
  in 
  degree 
  rather 
  

   than 
  in 
  kind. 
  Some 
  of 
  their 
  sounds 
  uttered 
  on 
  distnrbaneo 
  

   are 
  very 
  similar, 
  though 
  generally 
  deeper 
  in 
  Phceornis. 
  Both 
  

   assume 
  exactly 
  similar 
  positions 
  when 
  disturbed, 
  with 
  upright 
  

   tail 
  and 
  down-drooped 
  wings. 
  Instead 
  of 
  the 
  shivering 
  

   wings 
  of 
  Plueornis 
  you 
  see 
  a 
  quicker, 
  more 
  jerky 
  moveaient 
  

   in 
  Chasiempis 
  ; 
  but 
  only 
  the 
  day 
  before 
  I 
  left 
  Kona, 
  I 
  saw 
  

   the 
  latter 
  put 
  on 
  a 
  genuine 
  shiver 
  exactly 
  like 
  that 
  of 
  PhcB- 
  

   ornis, 
  and 
  the 
  nosition 
  in 
  both 
  species 
  while 
  these 
  move- 
  

   ments 
  are 
  performed 
  is, 
  as 
  above 
  stated^ 
  exactly 
  the 
  same. 
  

   Both 
  live 
  on 
  insects 
  and 
  catch 
  them 
  in 
  a 
  similar 
  manner. 
  

   I 
  have 
  seen 
  PhcBornis 
  take 
  them 
  when 
  on 
  the 
  wing 
  just 
  like 
  

   Chasiempis. 
  It 
  would 
  be 
  interesting 
  to 
  compare 
  the 
  young 
  

   of 
  the 
  two 
  genera 
  together, 
  for 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  I 
  can 
  see 
  from 
  a 
  

   single 
  old 
  and 
  badly 
  preserved, 
  but 
  evidently 
  immature, 
  

   specimen 
  of 
  P. 
  lanaiensis 
  in 
  the 
  Bishop 
  Museum, 
  this 
  species 
  

   shows 
  reddish 
  spots 
  very 
  similar 
  to 
  the 
  young 
  of 
  Chasiempis. 
  

   Of 
  Chasiempis 
  I 
  have 
  several 
  times 
  found 
  the 
  nest 
  (wdthout 
  

   eggs, 
  unfortunately). 
  It 
  is 
  small, 
  very 
  neat 
  and 
  compact, 
  

   placed 
  from 
  10 
  to 
  80 
  feet 
  from 
  the 
  ground, 
  and 
  generally 
  

   well 
  concealed. 
  That 
  of 
  Phaornis 
  I 
  have 
  not 
  found, 
  though 
  

   the 
  bird 
  is 
  so 
  common. 
  The 
  burst 
  of 
  song 
  which 
  Phceornis 
  

   gives 
  forth 
  on 
  the 
  wing, 
  usually 
  when 
  descending 
  from 
  the 
  

   top 
  of 
  a 
  lofty 
  tree 
  to 
  a 
  lower, 
  is 
  very 
  striking, 
  and 
  different 
  

   individuals 
  sing 
  in 
  turn, 
  quite 
  evidently 
  in 
  rivalry 
  of 
  each 
  

   other. 
  

  

  The 
  Hawk 
  [Bnteo 
  soli 
  tar 
  i 
  us) 
  is 
  common 
  on 
  Mauna 
  Loa, 
  

   extending 
  its 
  range 
  from 
  near 
  the 
  sea-level 
  to 
  high 
  up 
  the 
  

   mountains. 
  It 
  preys 
  on 
  mice 
  (apparently 
  the 
  common 
  hou'<(>- 
  

   mouse). 
  I 
  have 
  taken 
  as 
  many 
  as 
  five 
  large 
  ones 
  froii 
  a 
  

   single 
  bird. 
  When 
  thus 
  gorged 
  it 
  can 
  scarcely 
  be 
  made 
  to 
  

   move, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  hardly 
  possible 
  to 
  scare 
  aw^ay 
  the 
  old 
  from 
  

   the 
  vicinity 
  of 
  their 
  young. 
  

  

  The 
  Crow 
  [Corvus 
  tropicus) 
  chiefly 
  belongs 
  to 
  the 
  lower 
  

   forest, 
  where 
  it 
  feeds 
  largely 
  on 
  i\\eieie 
  flowers, 
  more 
  especially, 
  

   I 
  think, 
  when 
  decayed. 
  In 
  the 
  interval 
  between 
  the 
  disap- 
  

   pearance 
  of 
  the 
  old 
  and 
  the 
  opening 
  of 
  the 
  new 
  flowers 
  

   this 
  bird 
  came 
  up 
  the 
  mountains 
  in 
  large 
  numbers, 
  often
