Distribution of Fijian Birds. 
391 
Bua is the great, if not the only habitat for Pachycephala 
grdffii, Hartl.; and my son procured a fine series of them. 
A reference to the Table will show how the different species 
of this genus, and of Ptilotis and Myialestes , are distributed 
over the group and yet confined to circumscribed localities. 
In the accompanying Table birds whose names are pre¬ 
ceded by * are peculiar to Fiji. They amount to exactly one 
half of our at present known species. 
Tabulated List of Fijian Birds, showing their distribution in 
some of the principal Islands, as far as is known up to 
the present date.

torques, Peale. Cf. antea, p. 384; see also Mr. Gurney’s note on the Fijian 
Harrier, here called Circus assimilis .— Ed.]
