9 8:2. Ducula pacifica tarrali Bonaparte Large fruit Pigeon SEE CAYLEY, PLATE. III NO. 14, for somewhat similar but iodine underers. Range.- Loyalty Island (Lifu), New Hebrides, Santa Cruz, Solomon Island, Bismarck Archipelago. Description.- As in New Hebrides. Food.- Large fruit Habitat.- Forest Migration.- Has not been found in the Loyalty Island in a hundred years. Possibly extinct, or only occurring as an occasional visitor from the New Hebrides. Collecting.- The Lifu bird has been described by Bonaparte as a separate subspecies (sundevalli), but I do not believe that it is different. A series would be welcome to settle this finally. NOTES:- Never appears on Mare (except a possible stray after a hurricane but found no records of any such appearance) but is known to natives who know it in N. Bal. x Lifu, refer to it as 'Lotu'. It is evidently much persecuted in New Bal. x Lifu but Frenchmen who are very partial to its undoubted table virtues (L.M).
