Viti Levu is the largest of which group of islands?
Viti Levu rail Viti Levu rail The Viti Levu rail ("Vitirallus watlingi") was a prehistoric flightless bird from Fiji. The Viti Levu rail is thought to have been about the same size as the bar-winged rail ("Nesoclopeus poecilopterus") but with a very elongated and slender bill. The genus name refers to Viti Levu, the island of origin in Fiji; "rallus" is Latin for rail. The species name "watlingi" is after the ornithologist Dr Dick Watling. Remains of this species were discovered in September 1998 at Viti Levu, the largest island in the Republic of Fiji. It was first described by Trevor H. Worthy
Viti Levu stocks of tonalite, granodiorite, gabbro and diorite. Mio-Pliocene sandstones and marl, grading into epiclastics and andesitic volcanics of the Suva Group are found mainly in the river valleys such as those formed by the Nadi River and Navua River. The Plio-Pleistocene Mba Grouop is found on the northern portion of the island and consists of porphyritic basalt flows and volcanoclastics grading into greywacke. Geographically it includes the peaks of Koroyanitu (3921’), Malua (3294’), Monavatu (3708’), Mount Tomanivi (4341’), and Ndelamendamu (2540’), and extends along the eastern coast almost to Nausori.
