Kingfisher
$0'2
Halcyon chloris canacorum Brasil
Range.- New Caledonia, Maré, Lifu,
Uvea.
Description.- Similar to the
Kingfisher of the New Hebrides, but
more buffy underneath and duller and
more greenish above; very similar to
the sacred Kingfisher of Australia.
Habitat.- Near the beach (?),
forest, native gardens (?)
Collecting.- A good series, although
the birds from the Loyalty Islands
are apparently not different from the
New Caledonian race.
