1899. 
It should be noticed that both these specimens are lighter 
and more oily-green, and not so grass-green as the other 
birds in the British Museum, where the Vate specimen alone 
corresponds wdth them. The adults from Erromanga and 
Espiritu Santo show curious blackish bands across the lower 
surface of the primaries, whereas the quill-lining in the 
Museum series is uniform pearly grey. There are traces 
of these obscure bars in the Vate bird.

This species seems to be quite distinct from G. pacifica , 
being a very much darker bird, with a slaty-grey head, neck, 
and chest. It belongs to the section with dark leaden-grev 
under-wing-coverts.

It seems to me that at least two species are included in 
the series of specimens determined as G. pacifica by Count 
Salvadori. The Samoan and Friendly Islands bird has dark 
plumbeous under-wing-coverts and quill-linings, and has » 
the vinous colour of the under surface extending up to the
