These rather large species, the number of which has been in- 
creased so much of late years by the researches of French re- 
sidents, inhabit the series of archipelagoes extending from the 
fifth to about the fortieth degree of southern latitude, viz. the 
Salomon Islands, New Hebrides, New Caledonia, Feejee Islands, 
and New Zealand. With regard to the occm-rence of the same 
species in more than one of these groups, the author thinks 
(without doubt justly) that errors in the statements of their 
habitats, and probably also accidental introductions and accli- 
matizations may have occurred.
