Bernicla Sandvicensis Vig. Zool. P?-o. May 27, 1834. 



Inhabits the Sandwich Islands. 



An interesting account of the habits of this bird, while confined in Lord Derby's menagerie, by 

 that nobleman, will be found in the Zoological Proceedings as above quoted, when he states they 

 laid four eggs of a white colour, and large in proportion to the size of the bird, two of which were 

 hatched, and one reared ; since which time also another hatch has been reared by the Zoological 

 Society.
