• Henshaw, B. Hawaiian Islands, p. 69, 1902, believes that only two specimens were obtained, 

 and that " the exact status of the bird can hardly be regarded as settled." This is an error. The 

 species is absolutely distinct, being much smaller, wing about 1 cm. shorter, all dimensions less, 

 and the coloration of the males quite dissimilar. Eight skins were sent by Palmer, and it is 

 remarkable that no other collector — as far as I know — ever came across this species.
