Hancock spoke on the birds, both native and introduced, of Kauai, Hawaiian Islands, illustrating his talk with coloured slides. Some of the introduced plants could become a menace to the Drepani- idae by spreading and inhibiting regeneration of the endemic food plants and the Zosterops, now well established, could become so numerous as seriously to compete for the available food supply. Plumage pattern and colour relationships of the genera Carduelis and Fringilla by C. J. O. Harrison Received 8th October, 1965 Studies of plumage pattern and colour reveal (Harrison 1963a, 1963b) that, although within any group of related species considerable specific differences of pattern and colour may be evolved, nevertheless this varia- tion appears to be confined within certain limits and the patterns reveal the underlying relationship. In the present study the pattern and colour relationships of Carduelis (including Spinus, Chloris, and Hypacanthis, after Vaurie 1959) and Fringilla are examined. This provides additional evidence of the taxonomic affinities of Fringilla. Tordoff(1954), in a comparative study of the bony palate in seed-eating birds, concluded on this evidence that Fringilla was a part of the bunting family Emberizidae, and of different origin from the cardueline finches. The Emberizidae became the Fringillidae, a name previously used for the.
