_Geographic range._--Micronesia: Caroline Islands--Yap.
_Characters._--According to Hartlaub and Finsch (1872:95),
"General colour a deep oil-green, with a decided fulvous hue;
underparts a little paler, and a little more yellowish; eye-ring
satin-white; ears blackish; upper and under tail coverts with a
slight rufous tinge; wing- and tail-feathers blackish, with
oil-green margins; under wing-coverts whitish-grey; beak fulvous,
under mandible, except at the tip, yellowish; feet pale, probably
yellow; iris reddish white."
_Remarks._--No specimens of _R. oleaginea_ have been examined by me, and
I am following Mayr (1944b:7) in including it with the other large
white-eyes of Micronesia in the genus _Rukia_.
