Small honey eater. Lichmera incana incana Latham Range.- New Caledonia, Maré, Lifu, Uvea. Description.- Like the Erromango bird (flavotincta), but somewhat smaller. Habitat.- Forest (?) Food.- Insects and nectar (?) Collecting.- It is not quite certain whether birds from the Loyalty Islands belong to the large flavotincta or to the small incana, therefore a series from each island is welcome. Try to find out why females are so rare in collections. Are they less active; do they feed higher up in the trees, or are they actually in the minority. This is also true for Myzomela. Native name.- Sissi Chale WA-Si's-si
