Three closely related Kingfishers — H. sancta, chloris and juliae — are thus found on one 

 small island (Vate) together. In addition to these a fourth, much like them, H. tristrami Lay. occurs also 

 in the Solomon Islands. All this is very suggestive of one higlily variable species, which may also did'er 

 much with aa'c.
