Guadalcanal Island: Lunga Point — i juvenile female, November 



30- 



This juvenile specimen has been recorded by Beecher (Fieldiana. 



Zoology, vol. 3, 1945, p. 36). He considers an adult, which was 

 collected from the same locality, to be near Gymnorhina tibicen tibicen 

 (Latham). This immature may have been an imported captive bird 

 since it has a growth on its right foot which resembles bumblefoot, 

 a disease often found in caged birds.
