One occurrence. At the end of November or the 

 beginning of December, 1889, a bird of this species was 

 shot between Borth and Aberystwith, and an account of 

 its capture was furnished by Mr. J. Willis Bund to 

 Mr. Harting, who published it in the ' Zoologist.' The 

 species is there and elsewhere called by J. Macgillivray 's 

 name (E. torquata, but from a comparison of types there 

 is no doubt that it is the same as the bird first described 

 by Titian Beale as (E. brevipes. Peale obtained his 

 specimens in lat. 60° S. in the Pacific Ocean, when he 

 accompanied the United States exploring expedition 

 under Commodore Wilkes. Macgillivray found his bird 

 on one of the New Hebrides Islands, where they were 

 breeding. It has also been obtained on the Fiji Islands.
