-162- Myiagra vanikorensis (Quoy & Gaimard). Upolu: Græffe. (Monarcha dimidiata from "Samoa Islands (J. Gould) 1850": two skins are thus recorded in Strickland's collection--see Salvin, Catal. Strickl. Colln., 1882, p. 136. Probably not from Samoa, as the species is only known from Rarotonga.) Campephagidae. Lalage sharpei Rothschild. (Type loc., Apia, Upolu.) ----- Layard ("very common"); Whitmee ("very common about the villages--I think, the most common bird we have."). Upolu: Peale; Græffe; Nicoll (common in town of Apia); C. M. Woodford (collected the type). This species seems to replace L. pacifica in the Samoan Ids. Turdidae. (Saxicola luctuosa S. Müller, recorded from "Samoa" by Gray, is from Samao Id., Malay Arch. (see Wiglesworth, Aves Polynes., p. 24.) Planesticus samoensis (Tristram). (Type loc., "Samoa".) ----- Kubary; Whitmee ("common in the bush"); Layard (common). Upolu: Peale (found in the interior); Græffe, etc. Sylviidae. Layard said he could not find any Conopoderas, nor any one who knew of it. If ever present, he says "it may have become extinct." Peale (1848) mentions the Samoan Ids. as one of the lo- calities where he met with it, so it doubtless did occur at the time of his visit (about 1839-41). Finsch gives Upolu as the island on which Peale saw it, but there appear to be no specimens extant. Prionopidae. Pinarolestes powelli Salvin. (Type loc., Tutuila.)
