When the holotype was collected, the Whitney Expedition vessel France was anchored in a bay near Cape Hunter and from there Beck and Hicks went ‘‘eastward to the big river’’ ( 5 the Irina River, ca. 09.50S , 159.50E ). Their inland base was at 1800 ft and they collected from there to more than 4000 ft (R.H. Beck, unpublished journal D, AMNH Department of Ornithology Archives).
