July 27-Aug. 5, 1923 : About 100 are found in two small groups, one on th e 
south and one on the north side of the main island. The birds are founi on 
the rough coral of the outer beaches where they rest in the shade of bushes 
in company. They are not now breeding. 
Hypotaenidea wakgflg.ijL 
July 31. 1923 : None found on Reale Island. 
Aug. 2. 1923 : These birds seem very sedentary. Those that I take on sandy areas 
where there is only scatterred areas of shade are very worn and pale colored 
above, those from certain sections where there are extensive dead falls have the 
wing feathers worn and abraded apparently from their use in climbing about. This 
is true though more suitable areas where conditions are less severe may be found 
near at hand. The wing claw in this species is vary large and strong.
