(Only three specimens of this fine bird were obtained high up in the moun- 

 tains on November 15th, 21st, and 22nd, 1892. All three were single birds, but 

 another was seen on November 21st, two were heard calling to each other on 

 the 23rd, and again, in another place, on the 24th ; lastly one was seen in another 

 place again on the 26th, but not secured. " This convinces me the ' Akialoa ' 

 inhabits pretty well all the upper part of the mountain of Lanai, where there 

 is forest. The three specimens secured were in good condition, the last quite 

 fat, and all their stomachs full of insects." No other collector has hitherto 

 found a Hemignathus on Lanai, and the greatest credit is due to H. C. Palmer 

 for having discovered this bird, which must be very rare and perhaps on the 

 verge of extinction, or possibly now extinct. Progress and collecting in the 

 upper forests of these islands is, however, difficult, and efforts should be made to 

 secure more specimens, before the subspecies passes away.)
