Two or three were taken on Jervis in December, 1905. On 
Chatham, in the Wreck Bay region, five were taken in latter 
January, 1906, a young one just from the nest on February 23, 
1906, and two on September 10, 1906. In April, 1906, Mr. 
Beck reported seeing them in the humid region high up on the 
south side of Narborough. On July 26, 1906, one was taken 
in a small tree near the beach at the anchorage on the western 
side of South Seymour Island. 
This species was found from the ocean shore through the 
various life zones to the grassy humid belt of the higher moun- 
tains. On Albemarle, Duncan, Indefatigable, James, Jervis, 
and Seymour they were seen in the arid region. On Charles 
the only specimen taken was shot in the interior humid region. 
On Chatham they were taken in the humid zone just below 
the sugar plantations and in the region intermediate between 
the humid and the arid. 
During our stay on the southeast side of Indefatigable, 
opposite Barrington, in October, two were taken, one about 
three miles inland in the arid region, the other in some green 
shrubbery growing along the beach. While at Academy Bay 
in November, a few were seen up to 525 feet elevation, one 
being observed in the brush in the arid region at about 100 
feet. elevation, a few in the region where the arid and humid 
zones meet, and a few in the humid zone. During our stay 
there in the middle of January, two or three were seen on the 
12th in the moist region, while on the 17th one was noted at 
about 1000 feet elevation, high in the moist region. On the 
20th one was observed at a water hole near the beach. On 
July 11 and 12, two were taken close to the same water hole, 
while on the 17th Mr. Beck took one a short distance inland 
in the arid region. On northwest Indefatigable, opposite 
Duncan, one was shot in a tree near the beach on July 21. 
On southeast Albemarle in March, August, and November, 
they were found in the “poison-fruit trees’ (Hippomane 
mancinella) and mangroves bordering the lagoons near the 
ocean shore. They were also observed in the forested humid 
region below the plantation of Santo Tomas in the mountains. 
They were fairly common in the open, treeless country above 
Santo Tomas, occurring mostly in the scattered shrubs and 
bushes. Mr. Hunter shot more than 30 in one forenoon in
