Though Mr. Rothschild's collector Palmer found this species breeding commonly under 

 some old turtle-shells on French Frigate Islands, and also met with it on Laysan, the 

 only evidence of its occurrence in the Sandwich Islands is that furnished by Dr. Stejneger 

 in 1889, whose information is as follows : — 



" I have but little doubt that the two birds received from Mr. Knudsen since the 

 rest of this paper was submitted to the printer really belong to this species. They 

 make a very unexpected addition to the Hawaiian fauna. 



" As far as coloration is concerned they agree minutely with B. bulweri, the greater 

 wing-coverts being lighter than the rest of the wing, in this respect differing from the 

 original description \ and, so far as 1 know, the only one, of B. macgillivrayi. Nor 

 are the bills larger; on the contrary, they are somewhat slenderer; nor do the 

 dimensions or proportions differ, as the appended measurements show. The only doubt 

 is caused by the difference in shape of the nasal tube, which in the single specimen of 

 undoubted B. luhueri at my command is swollen almost to the base, while in Knudsen's 

 two specimens it is compressed from about the middle backwards. This difference 

 may be entirely unessential, however.

 Cat. Birds Trop. Isl. Pac. Oc. p. 56 (1859). This diagnosis, with slight additions and measurements, is 

 reproduced in Finsch & Hartlaub, Beitr. Faun. Centralpolynes. p. 242 (1867)."
