Silver eye.
Zosterops lateralis
Range.- nigrescens: Maré, Uvea;
melanops: Lifu.
Description.- Similar to
macmillani (Tanna), but very much
smaller. There is some doubt,
whether or not nigrescens is dif-
fèrent from melanops, or whether there
are not three races in the Loyalty
Islands. In this case the Maré
form would be new.
Collecting.- A large series on
each island.
