their favour, so that we are not surprised to find many faets 

 of the greatest interest in this Report. Following upon 

 information of the progress made hy the Bishop Museum 

 and the acquisition of the Henshaw and Menage Collections, 

 we have an article on a collecting-trip to the Waianae 

 Mountains in Oaim made by Messrs. Bryan and Seale during 

 January, February, and March, 1901. Several introduced 

 species, such as Phasianus torquatus, P. versicolor, and Alauda 

 arvensis, were found to be plentiful, while the nest and egg 

 of Chasiempis gayi (differing from Rothschild's description), 

 nests of Himatione sanguinea and Chlorodrepanis chloris, and 

 the hitherto unknown nest and eggs of Oreomystis macu- 

 lata were secured. Mr. Bryan also describes the nest and 

 eggs of Heterorhynchus wilsoni (new to science), of Chloro- 

 drepanis virens, and (with considerable doubt) of Loxioides 

 bailleui, all from Hawaii ; a curious undetermined nest made 

 of the lava-strands called Pele's hair ; and the breeding of 

 Asio accipitrinus sandvicensis. Lastly, Mr. Wilder writes on 

 American birds observed in the Hawaiian Islands. Illus- 

 trations are given of the nests of Chasiempis gayi, Oreomystis 

 maculata, Chlorodrepanis virens, Heterorhijnchus wilsoni, and 

 that attributed to Loxioides bailleui. 



52. Richmond on a new Swiftlet. 



[Description of a new Swiftlet from Mount Kina Balu, Borneo. By 

 Charles W. Richmond. Smiths. Misc. Coll. ii. p. 431 (1905).] 



A supposed new species of Collocalia is described as 

 C. dodgei. The type, in the U.S. National Museum, oc- 

 curred in a small collection of birds made by Messrs. Goss 

 and Dodge during a recent expedition to Mount Kina Balu, 

 Borneo. It is most nearly allied to C. linchi, but is smaller. 



53. Riley on a new Ground-Dove. 



[A new Subspecies of Ground-Dove from Mona Island, Porto Rico. 

 By J. II. Riley. Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. xxix. p. 171 (1905).] 



The new subspecies from Mona Island, between S. Domingo 

 and Porto Rico, is named Columbigalliua passerina exigua. 

 We prefer to call the genus Chamcepelia, agreeing with Count 

 Salvadori's dictum on this point (see Cat. B. xxi. p. 472).
