-61- FIJI OR VITI GROUP. Family_______________? = Eulabeornis poeciloptora "Sasa". H. Wilfred Walker (Wanderings among South Sea Savages, 1909, p. 20) and others refer to a strange bird called the "Sasa." Walker says a Chief on Taveuni described to him a "wingless" bird that "lived in holes in the ground" in the mountains, but Walker could not find any. The bird has been described as a kind of megapode or "apteryx". Bahr (1912) refers to it as a species of "Megapodius, sp. inc.", a bird called the "sasa", found in the interior and north coast of Viti Levu up to about 1905. It was hunted with dogs, was speckled, and some thought it to be a megapode. PHASIANIDAE. Gallus gallus, subspecies. Capt. Cook introduced the domestic fowl into the Fijis during his visit, and Layard thinks the present wild stock dates from Cook's time. Found on many islands. Bahr (1912) says the mon- goose has exterminated it on Viti Levu, though it still occurs on small islands off the coast, especially on Mbenga and Mokongai. It is still common on Taveuni. COLUMBAE. Gallicolumba stairi vitiensis (Finsch). (type locality, Fijis)
