in a condition which renders it impossible to identify it 
satisfactorily. So far, however, as it can be made out it 
agrees with Bonaparte's description of C, pacifica, which is 
stated to occur in the New Hebrides. 
16. Macropygia, sp. ? 
A skin of some species of this group occurs from Anei- 
teum in a condition too much damaged by damp to enable 
me to identify it. It is one of the smaller species of this 
genus, and known to the natives as “ Inman-aleng." 
17. Chalcophaps chrysochlora, Gould. 
Mr. R. B. Sharpe has kindly identified for me this species, 
of which I have the remains of several specimens. They are 
from Aneiteum, where Mr. Inglis states the bird is very 
plentiful. Its native name is “Naloupa.” It seems to have 
considerably more white on the shoulder than have Australian 
specimens. There is also a specimen from Aniwa, where the 
natives know it as ff Tafoitu.". Eggs sent along with it are 
considerably smaller than those of our Turtledove, and are 
cream-colour instead of white, in this resembling Geotrygon . 
18. Ptilonopus greyi, G. R. Gray. 
A specimen of this beautiful Pigeon is sent by Mr. Paton 
from Aniwa, where it is known as “ Ta-foikuku." He also 
sends two eggs, taken on 24th October. They are a trifle 
smaller than those of the species last named, and are of a 
dark cream-colour, darker than (Ena capensis. It will be 
interesting to ascertain if this peculiarity is shared by any 
other Ptilonopus, those Mr. Layard has found in Fiji being- 
pure white. 
-f-19. Charadrius fulvus, Gm.

20. Limosa baueri, Naum.

“ Nagag 1 at Aneiteum. The specimens are in various states 
of winter plumage.
