y) /^*- c B CATALOGUE OF THE BIRDS OF THE TROPICAL ISLANDS OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN, IN THE COLLECTION OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM. BY GEORGE ROBERT GRAY, F.L.S., F.Z.S., etc. LONDON : PRINTED BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES. 1859. PRINTED BY TAYLOR AND FRANCIS, RED LION COURT, FLEET STREET. (,0 3 - ! I PREFACE. The object of the present List has been to give a complete Catalogue of the species of Birds (under their respective specific names, with their synonyms) as found on the numerous Islands of the Pacific Ocean, which are situated within the tropic between the longitudes of 134° E. and 130° W. The space thus circumscribed embraces the groups of the Pelew, Ladrone, Caroline, Marshall's, Gilbert's, and Sandwich Islands, and various other scattered islands on the north of the Equator. It also includes those of the Admiralty, New Britain, New Ireland, Solomon, and Queen Charlotte's Islands, New Hebrides, New Caledonia, Loyalty, Feejee, Samoan, Tonga, Cook's, Austral, Society, Low, and Marquesas Islands, as well as the other outlying islands on the south of the Equator. Latham in his ' General Synopsis ' was the first author who de- scribed the different species of Birds of the numerous tropical islands, specimens of which were obtained, or were represented in the many drawings made by Sydney Parkinson, the Forsters, and Ellis, du- ring the three Voyages undertaken by the great circumnavigator Cook. To these are added, those recorded in the zoological portions of the different foreign Voyages of discovery, as well as others which have been procured by the more modern collectors. The species contained in the Museum Collection, from one or other of the localities noticed, are exemplified by the letters B.M. It may further be observed, that specimens of some of the other species, noted in the Catalogue, may also be seen in the Museum Collection as from other localities. JOHN EDWARD GRAY. October 1, 1859.

It may be remarked that the specimens in the British Museum which agree with the description of the above-mentioned species are from Celebes, while Lesson states that this bird was obtained at the Island of Vanikoro by Quoy and Gaimard. The British Museum also contains the specimen from which Temminck gave his figure in PI. Col. 444, under the name of Garrula torquata. This bird differs by its entirely black bill, the steel-blue glossiness of the plu- mage, the dull purple reflexion on the head, and the tail being rather shorter. Sturnid^.
