PLEGADIS GUARAUNA. 



Scolopax guarauna, Linnaeus, S. N. ed. 12, i. p. 242 (1766). 



Plegadis guarauna, Ridgway, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. i. p. 163 (1878) ; id. Water-B. N. Am. i. p. 97 

 (1884) ; Stejneger, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. 1887, p. 84. 



[The list of references to this American species might, of course, be easily extended.] 



A single immature bird was sent by Mr. Knudsen from Kauai in 1872, which 

 Mr. Ridgway referred somewhat doubtfully to this species of Glossy Ibis. It appears 

 to be a mere straggler to the Sandwich Islands, as it does not appear to have been 

 observed by anyone else.
