Doubts have been expressed as 



to the correctness of the locality, Vanicoro, from which the 



type of this species is stated to have come (Voy. Astrolabe p. 183); but, as the same species as that which 

 is found in Fiji occurs in Samoa, it may with good reason be expected to occur on Vanicoro also, since that 

 island is situated not much farther away to the N. E. of Fiji than is Samoa to the N". W. At the same time 

 it should be noted that the length as stated by Quoy and Gaimard is considerably leas than in Fijian 

 specimens, viz: 4 V2 in* as against 5.2 in. (Sharpc).

This subspecies can with difficulty be held distinct from M. melanura Gray from the New 

 Hebrides. The white on the inner margins of the two outer tail feathers is hardly a criterion, since specimens 

 from the New Hebrides (Aneiteum) often possess it also.
