Besides describing bis adventures in searching for the 
<( Hoaor “ Black Mano,’' Mr. Bryan supplies us with many 
interesting field-notes on other birds met with during his two 
months' exploration of the damp forests of Molokai. The 
Phceornis of this island, of which a good series was obtained, 
proves to be a different representative species of this peculiar 
genus, and is described as new under the name of Phceornis 
eritha. Mr. Bryan was also so fortunate as to discover a large 
colony of one of the Petrels of the genus CEstrelata 
(CE. sandwichensis ), which, after the manner of its fellows, 
breeds in holes on the cliffs of Molokai at an elevation 
of from 3500 to 4000 feet. He accompanied a party of 
native bird-catchers, who visit the cliffs every breeding- 
season to obtain the young birds, which are regarded as a 
“ special delicacy by all Hawaiians.’' This Petrel has been 
hitherto regarded as a great rarity, but appears to be 
still abundant in this locality. On the present occasion 
twenty-one examples were obtained, but their numbers are 
said to be fast decreasing owing to the ravages of the 
Mongoose, which has been unfortunately introduced into the 
island and has destroyed many of the ground-frequenting 
birds.

As will be seen from the title, this Report differs from 
those of former years in containing notes referring to the 
Autumn Migration, which were received from a limited 
number of observers, while it is proposed to augment this 
section considerably in the immediate future. The details 
of the movements observed at the lighthouses are given 
separately, and might perhaps have been accompanied by a 
map of the stations. 
We have read the report carefully and find no special
