-98- FREGATIDAE. Fregata "aquila." Christmas: Streets; MacFarlane. Palmyra: Streets. Fregata "minor." "Lesser Frigate bird" of Streets. Christmas: Streets. Palmyra: Streets. Not abundant, and not breeding in Dec. or January. LORIIDAE. Vini kuhli (Vigors). (Type locality: ?Tetuaroa, Society group?) Fanning: Fanning (in 1798); Streets; Arundel--"not uncommon." Washington: Bourjot St.-Hilaire; Finsch; Streets--fairly numerous. SYLVIIDAE. Conopoderas aequinoctialis (Gmelin). (Type loc.: Christmas.) Christmas: Latham; Bennett?; Streets? Ellis. Bennett, in May (1834-35), found a small land bird "the size and colour of a sparrow", which was very likely this species. Streets got some on the western side of the island, in Dec., 1873, but they were lost in transit and never reached Washington. He refers to them as a "flycatcher-like bird", and the only land bird seen. This species therefore probably occurred up to 1873, and may still occur there, though no definite record has been made since the time of Cook's visit, in December, 1777, and no specimens exist in museums. Conopoderas pistor (Tristram). (Type locality: Fanning Id.) Fanning: Arundel.
