Type : <J ad., Wailua district, Oahu, 24. iv. 1893. H. C. Palmer & Wol-

285. Oreomyza perkinsi Rothsch. = Oreomystis perkinsi.

Type : a ad., Kona, Hawaii, 25. ix. 1891. H. C. Palmer leg. No. 1332. 



This curious specimen, the only one like it ever obtained, is probably a 

 somewhat rare species which has been overlooked. Even Palmer, when he 

 skinned it, never noticed that it was anything uncommon, but mistook it for 

 the common " Amakihi," i.e. Chlorodrepanis virens. With this latter species 

 it has nothing to do, and Perkins's suggestion that it might be a " sport " of it, 

 has no foundation. In the shape of the beak and general proportions it agrees 

 closely with Oreomystis flammea (Wils. ) from Molokai, but, as the original descrip- 

 tion shows, is totally different in colour.. In the dense forests of the Hawaiian 

 highlands small birds like Chlorodrepanis virens, Oreomystis mana, and 0. perkinsi 

 must look almost alike, even at small distances.
