rpHE object of the present Edition is not so much to give a complete record of all the Australian
Birds at present known, as to give authentic information on the distriljution of the Species over
the Australian Continent and adjacent Islands.
This list has been carefully worked up from note books kept during the last tliirty yeai's, in
fact since 1858, and advantage has been taken of recent ornithological publications and of a visit
to the European Museums, to correct the synonymy, and to give the oldest and most authentic
names, hence the necessity of a page being devoted to " Notes and References," which it is hoped
will prove useful.
The opportunity has been taken to show by an asterisk in the third column those species
represented in the Collection of the Australian Museum ; while the fourth column gives the most
easily to be obtained reference to where an authentic description of each of the species may be
found. New localities for a great numljer of species have Ijeen recorded, and a few new species
added.
A list of the birds found on Lord Howe and Norfolk Islands has been appended, this is
necessarily very imperfect, but sliows all that have been recorded from these parts, as far as can at
present be ascertained, while one or two new species have been recently added.
As it is intended to publish shortly a systematic index to the whole of the Australian
Avifauna, no particular classification has been employed, and the present Edition is mei'ely a fore-
runner of a work on the Birds of Australia by the same author, which is now being prepared
for the press.
The accompanying sketcii map gives the boundaries of the Colonies as they at present stand,
and most of the localities mentioned througliout the List.
Lastly, a new method of registration is employed, that of using numerals, Avhich renders tlie
following out of the distribution of any species far more easy than the old, troublesome and
inadequate vise of asterisks (*).
Sydney, 1888.
NOTES AND EEFEEENCES.
f The " Interior " Province includes Cohar and Bourke Districts on the
East, Lake Eyre on the West, and the Gulf of Carpentaria on the
North.
Derby, a new settlement on the North West Coast of Australia. The
collections were made from the coast to about 100 miles inland.
Many of the species are identical with those found in the northern
portion of the Interior Province near the Gulf.

XOTES AXD EEFEEEXCES.
31. Specimens rei-eived from 2\ortliem Queensland and the LaloJci River,
'Se^ LTuinea, cannot be considered a distinct species.
34. Xrsox B'>:'B'>:'K.£'-iifc.,alsofotmdonXorfoIkandIjordHowe'sIslands,
but not in Tasmania. The Xorth Anstralian species is probably distinct
and the Sonthem form X. aiAEiiORAXUs is perhaps only a variety of X.
BOOBO^, see Sharpe, Gnmey and others on this point ; a larger series
than I possess at present will b-e required to determine the Tarions
varieties or species known as X. boobook, Auct.
39. Xrsrox PE!rn»srxAEis, Salradori, from Cape York is a smaller bird, but
I believe identical with X. coxxitexs.. Latham ; b. see Salvadori, Ann.
Mus. Civ. Genov. Vol. Til., p. 992, (1S75). "X. conniventi, (Lath.)
Talde a^Tijg sed minor supra obscuriore maculis gastraei obscnriori-
bus."
40. Xixox coxxiTExs occroEXTAUS, Eamsay, must be considered as a
distinct race, the Western birds c-an always be distinguished from
the Eastern form.
43 and 44. Hab. Dawson Eiver and Trinity Bay. Specimens from X. E.
Australia and Derby are identical, and should be c-onsidered one and
the same species, varying chiefly in c-olour, slightly only in size.
4S. The shape and strength of tiie biU seems to be the chief characteristic
of This species, the markings in colour vary considerably.
50. PoDA£Gi:s SAEMOEATTs, Gould, may be identical with P. ocellatus,
Q. et Gaim.
53. I have never seen this doubtful species, which is probably only a
starved individual of P. stbigoides, Latham.
54. This species is universally dispersed over the whole Continent
of Australia.
57. Visits every portion of Australia, without any definite time of
arrival; but usually in the Autumn and "Winter months, when
nevertheless they are extremely fat and oily.
58. If specimens obtained in Queensland be examined, they will be
found to diSer from the S. S. Island form, known as C. spodioftgia,
PeaU.

NOTES AND EEFEEENCES.
68. DiCELO cERViNA, 69 D. occiDENTALis, 70D. LEACHii, andSalvadori's
D. INTERMEDIA from New Guinea, should be considered merely local
varieties of one and the same species, the colour, and the form of the
bill will be found to be of very little importance when a large series
of these birds are carefully examined.
74. Halcyon macleayi, there are no differences worthy of record, between
the Cape York and New Guinea examples of this species, it is found
as far South as the Clarence Eiver, and at Derby in N.W. Australia.
82. Aetamus leucogaster=A. leucoptgialis of Gould, I gather from
Mr. Sharpe's notes on the genus, that this species is identical with
A. LEUcopYGiALis of Gould, (Eowlcy's Orn. Misc. Vol. III., p. 184.)
84. Artamds VENUSTtJS, Sharpe ; Rowley's Orthin. Miscell., Vol. iii., p.
198-99; = A. cinereus, of Vieillot.
85. Artamus albiventris, Gould, a good species in which the under tail
coverts are white both in the young and in the adults. Localities,
Herbert Eiver, Eockingham Bay, and Gulf District.
84 and SO. Artamus cinereus, of Vieillot^A. melanops, Gould. After
a careful examination of over 50 specimens from all parts of Australia,
I can find no valid reason for separating these birds. Specimens
from the Interior are more ashy on the head and neck and have the
faded tint, peculiar to so many birds from that hot district ; the
under tail coverts are all black in the adults, tipped with white in
the inmature birds. Specimens have been examined from the following
localities : South Australia, Port Augusta, Interior, Lachlan Eiver,
South and North-West Australia, Derby, Port Darwin and 100 miles
inland from thence. The type of A. cinereus of Vieillot, if in
existence, should be carefully examined with specimens from South
Australia, whence Mr. Gould obtained his type of A. melanops. I
believe them to be one and the same species.
91. Pardalotus ornatus, Teynm. = P. striatus, Vig. 4" Sorsf., see
Sharpe's Cat. Bds. Brit. Mus., Vol. X., p. 55.

132, 133. A large series of these birds seems to prove that they are one
and the same species. P. pallida may he a bleached specimen of P.
FALCATA, not Well dcscribcd by Gould.
135, 136. P. GiLBERTi is a good species, but P. rufogularis, is very
doubtful. Specimens in the British Museum do not appear to belong
to either species, although supposed to be P. rufogularis, Gould.
139. P. ROBUSTA, Masters, a doubtful species, being founded on a single
specimen only, a female ; must be compared with female of P.
MELANURA, which varies much in size.
143. C. suPERCiLiosA, Masters, may be a very old bird of C. brunnea,
Gould, and probably the same as Sharpe's C. pallidirostris, Sharpe,
Brit. Mus. Cat. Vol. III., p. 293. It has a distinct broad white stripe
over the eye and extending beyond it, and is a fully adult bird ; the
young of C. brunnea, have a 6m/ line over the eye.
144. C. RECTiROSTRis, Javd. ^ Selb. = C. selbti ; Gould's Bds. Aust.,
II., pi. 77.
147. C. parvissima is a smaller race of C. rufigaster.
148. C. boweri, Ramsay, allied to C. harmonica, P. L. Soc, N. S.W.,
Vol. X., p. 244. Hab. Cairns, Queensland.
I cannot agree with Mr. Sharpe in including Colltriocincla rufigaster
C. PARVULUS, and C. macrorhtnchus, in his genus Pjnaroleste.s, as
he founds this new genus on Mtiolestes vitiensis, Auct. ; a bird
differing greatly even in habits and nidification from the true
Colltriocincla, to which the above named species belong.
153. Like the Atrichia clamosa, Gould, and A. rufescens, Ramsay, &c.,
this species is remarkable for its powers of ventriloquism.

NOTES AND REFEEENCES.
156. Ehipidura diemenensis, Sharpe, resembles E. albtscapa, from
Tasmania, Brit. Mns. Cat. Bds. IV., p. 311 ; ^- E. saturata, Sharpe
the specific term saturata being preoccupied, E. sharpei, Ramsay,
was proposed for it, but diemenensis takes priority.
160. E. SETOSA, Quoy et Gaim., =- E. isura, Gould,, = E. superciliosa,
Ramsay.
164. Seisura nana, Gould, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (4) Vol. VI., p. 224.
167. M. rubectjla of Latham = M. plumbea, Vig. cf Horsf.
168. M. NiTiDA, Gould, nee. M. rubecula. Lath.
171. I have seen from the S. E. Coast of New Guinea one mutilated
specimen in spirits, it appears to he identical with the female of
MACH^RiRHYNCHtrs FLAVivENTER, Oould, from Queensland.
175. MoNARCHA melanopsis, VieilL, N-dict. d'hist Nat. xxi., p. 450.
= MoNARCHA carinata, Vig. Sc Horsf., = Drymophila carinata,
of Temm., PI. Col. iii., pi. 418, fig. 3.
176. PiEZORHYNCHUs GOULDii, Gray,a.nd P. albiventris, Gould. In my
previous notes on these species (P.L.S. of N. S. Wales, 2 Ser. Vol. I.,
p. 1144.) I alluded to the opinion held by Mi. Sharpe that P. gotjldii
and P. albiventris were the same, I am glad to find that Mr. Sharpe
has considerably modified this view in the " Voyage of the Alert, pp.
14, 15," where, however, I think he has erred on the other side, in
separating the specimens found at Port Molle, as a distinct species
imder the name of Piezorhtnchus medius, on account, as far as I
can ascertain, of their black upper tail-coverts. Specimens before
me from near Port Denison agree in every respect with P. medius,
but among them are also others in which the upper tail-coverts vary
from bluish grey to black, this I find depends on the age and sex of
the individual. Those from N. S. Wales are palest in the orange
rufous tint of the sides of the throat, and chest, while the birds from
the Cardwell and Cairns districts further north, are deepest in tint ;
the extent of white on the outer three tail feathers also varies, and
in one specimen from Port Denison, a fourth feather is tipped with
white. I regret I did not see Mr. Sharpe's correction sooner, but in
any case, after examining a very large series from the Clarence Eiver
in N. S. Wales to Cape York in North Australia, I can only find two
distinct species P. gotjldii. Gray and P. albiventris, Gould ; P.
MEDiTJS therefore, becomes only a synonym of P. gotjldii of Gray.
180. Gertgone albigtjlaris, Gould. I cannot find any material difference
between the Western and Eastern specimens of this species.
181. Gerygone cinerascens, Sharpe, Cat. Bds. Brit. Mus. IV., p. 212;
N. W. A. This maybe the adult of the young mentioned — P.L.S. of
N.S.W., Vol. I., 2nd Ser., p. 1098 (1886).

252. CiSTicoLA isuEA, Gould, is the female of C. euficeps.
261. Ml-. E. B. Sharpe has pointed out that this is not an Acanthiza,
but considers it a Sericornis. Col. "VV. V. Legge, however has
formed a new genus, Acanthornls, for the reception of this si)ecies,
placing it between Acanthiza and Sericornis.
202. It is not improbable that A. pusila. Lath., A. ai-icalis, Gvv.Jd, and
A. DiEMENENSis, Gov.ld, arc all one and the same species, or mere

NOTES AND EEFEEENCES.
o
28i and 285. Cincloeamphus crtjealis and C. cantillans, are probably
only varieties of the same species.
289. Our Australian species are according to Mr. Seebolim, more properly
placed imder the older genus Acroeejjhalus.
302. I have never seen a specimen of this rare species, it has been reported
from the Victoria Eiver, N. W. Australia. See Gould's Handbook,
p. 428.
305. Emblema picta, the Museum has recently received several specimens
of this beautiful and rare species from about 200 miles inland from
Derly, it is also found near Cambridge Gulf.
310. May be looked on as the black headed phase of P. mirabilis, and
No. 311 as the golden cr yellow headed form of the same species.
312 and 313. Poiphila personata and P. leucotis, are very closely
if not identical.

(5) No. 19, p. 74, (1879) is allied to C. nuchalis, being its represen-
tative in North Eastern Australia, Port Denison, and Rockingham
Bay Districts. The type of C. nuchalis was first found in North
West Australia, probably dui'ing Leichhardt's Expedition, by Gilbert
or Elsey near Port Essington. The type of C. orientalis, Gould,
came from Port Denison, and was previously recorded by me as C.
NUCHALIS, the upper surface is more mottled with silvery grey and
the spots are larger. Gould's C. occipitalis is only a fine plumaged
adult male of C. maculata, type examined

349. CoRVCS coRONoiDES, V. Sf' 11., has tlie base of the neck and body
feathers wldtc, and the eyes white in the adnlt at least. (See Sharpe,
Brit. Mus. Cat. Bds., III., p. 20.)
350. CoBONE AUSTEALis, Goulcl, (nec. Gmelin) has the base of the feathers
sooty-black ; in three young taken from a nest by K. H. Bennett, the
irides wereblae, base of feathers dusky. (See B. M. Cat. Ill,, p. 37-8.)
J 351. Calornis metalica, although a few stragglers have wandered as
far South as Sydney, this cannot be considered as a New South
Wales species. .
356a and 357a. Can scarcely be looked on even as local varieties, specimens
from Queensland exhibiting the same length of bill and other
variations as are found in the Western forms. •
301, G. PECTORALis, Gray, = G. fasciata, TronZf?, which appears to be the
older name, but it is quite possible that Gould's name was preoccupied.
362. ==: G. modesta. Gray, = G. subfasciata, Ramsay.
363. Stigmatops albo-aubicularis, Ramsay, Islands of Torres Straits
and S. E. Coast of New Guinea.
367. Ptilotis vittata, Cuv. = P. sonora, Gould
370. =; P. FLAVIGULA, Gould.
371. p. GRACILIS, Gould, = p. ANALOGA, Homh. et Jacq., = P, SIMILIS,
Jacq. ct Puch., -; P. NOTATA, Gould, Bds. Aust., Suijp. pi. 41,&c., &c.
The southern form which is found as far south as Rockingham Bay,
at Cardwell, should take the name of P. gbacilis ; the New Guinea
form that of P. analoga. P. notata is the intermediate form.
375. A Western form or variety of P. cbatitia, Gould.

NOTES AND EEFEEENCP^S.
4GG p. 15. Oentkopus melanurus, Gould, and 0. jiaorourus, Govld,
cannot be considered good species, being only northi'i-n varieties in
which the variation is not constant. Specimens froiii the Kockingham
Bay districts embrace all three forms.
Cacatua goffixii, Fiiiscli, No. 477 in First Edition of this List, is a
synonym of C. ducorpsii, Quoy ct Ouim., which is not an Australian
species, but is peculiar to the Solomon Islands.
472. LiCMETis NAsicus, Temm. and L. pastinatob, Gouhl, appear to be
only local varieties of the same species ; the types should lie examined.
475. 0. STELLATus, Waaler, = C. MACRORHYNrHus, Goxdd.
477. = C. LEACHII, Kuhl.
478. C. XANTHONOTUS, Gould, ffoui Tasmnnin. Tliis is nothing more
than an insular form or variety of ('. FUNEEr.TTS ; in the type specimen
examined, the yellow patch on the side of the h.?ad is slightly
more defined.

NOTES AND REFEEENCES.
502, 502a. P. h^matogaster ; this species oi-iginally describod by Gould
has since been divided nnder the names of P. HiEMATOEitHOtrs and
P. XANTHORRHOXJS accoi'ding to their stage of plumage, specimens
exhibiting both stages of plumage in the one individual having been
obtained, it will be better to adhere to the original name of P.
H^MATOGASTER, which embraces both varieties. Notwithstanding
which, see Gould, Handb. Bds. Aust. II., pp. 62 — 64.

NOTES AND EEFEEENCES.
530a. This is a northern variety slightly smaller than P. MAGNiFicus,but
identical in plumage. Very small specimens, apparently of this
variety in an immature state of plumage, were identified as
Carpophaga puella, (Less.), they may, however, prove to be
Megalopbepia POLitiBA, Salvad., see Salvad., Orn. Pap. et Moluc,
iii., p. 68, sp. 7G2.
534. Gould's species 460 (Handb. ii., p. 119) Chalcophaps longirosteis
is a slightly more slender built bird, but identical in i^lumage, and
cannot be considered a good species.
547 and 548. Very little, if any, difference exists between these two birds ;
the Northern race, G. placida, is smaller and slightly brighter in
coloration.

NOTES AND REFEEENCES.
647. Gallinula kuficrissa, Gould, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (4) Vol. IV.,
p. 110. (18G9). ? = Amaurornis (Porzana) moluccana, Wallace.
See P.Z.S.. 1865, p. 480. Gould figures his bird with sl frontal shield.
I believe them to be distincl.
649. Salvador! in literas, states that the Parra from New Guinea is the
true P. GALLiNACEA of Temniitick, and that the Australian bird is a
distinct species, which he calls P. nov.«:-hollandi^.' See Salvad.,
Orn. Pap. et MoUucc. III., 308-9. This new species was formed by
Salvador! on my pointing out the distinction between them, and
descinbing the New Guinea bird as Paera NOViE guineas.

NOTES AND EEFEEENCES.
Hydrochelidon leucopteea, Meisner ».\'" Schinz. Mr. Howard Saunders
states (P.Z.S., 1876, p. G42), that this species has been obtained in
Australia and New Zealand, lut does not give any loc^alities. I have
never seen, or heard of the bird being found, on our coasts, and
should lie glad of more definite information on the subject. — (See
Hutton, List N.Z. iids., p. 43 ; id. p 78.) The bird which I refer to
(sp. 694) as Sterna dougalli, agrees well with Mr. Gould's figure
of S. GRACILIS, but has a longer tail and the whole oi the lAW jet bJarh,
even to the very base.

Since the publication of Mr. Gould's Handbook in 1865, the territorial boundaries of the different
colonies have altered considerably, so that the range of the ditierent species can be Ijut indefinitely
expressed by such wide terms as " Victoria," " Queensland," " New South Wales," Arc. ; lai'ge
portions of the country formerly known as New South Wales, now belong to Queensland ; and many
other changes have taken place. I have therefore given the particular localities in which most of
our large collections have been made, purposely to show the spread of certain species.
Where any confusion through the choice of names is likely to occur, that previously in use among
Australian Ornithologists has been given under notes and references.
The sketch map accompanying this list shows the boundaries of the Colonies as they now stand,
and the position of other localities mentioned.
The number of species enumerated in Mr. Gould's Handbook, as inhabiting Australia in 1865
was 672 in all. This number has Ijeen increased of late years by the discoveries of new species, and
by occasional visitors from other countries, to 760 — omitting doubtful species — most of these
additions are from North-east Australia or Queensland. But while not a few new species have been
brought to light, we find only one strictly lyir (/emts* — that of Scenoj/c'Hs, belonging to the family
of Bower-builders, (SceuopidtfJ among wliicli are also included the rtilouorliiiucJinx, AUurorjIns,
Clildinjidodent, and the "Regent Bird" Serkidus luelinua.
Our knowledge of the range of many species, previously known, only from the locality in which
they were first discovered, has been of late years, greatly augmented, by collections made by INIessrs.

to identify, nearly three hundred species from the vicinity of Rockingliain Bay alone, which, from
the diversified nature of its flora, and style of country in general, is perhaps the richest district in
Australia ; it is the only part of Northern Queensland, the scrubs of which at all approach, to those
I'icli Ijrushes or scrubs of tlie Clarence and Richmond Rivers.
Small collections have been recently made at the Gulf of Carpentaria, and surrounding districts,
by Messrs. Broadbent, Gulliver, and Inspector Armit ; and much has been added to our knowledge
of the avifauna of the North-west Coast by the late Mr. Boyer-Bower, and Messrs. Cairns and
Froggatt. One of Mr. Macleay's collector, Edward Spalding, has done good word at Port Darwin,
but as yet I am only aware of one neiv species having been obtained there. From South-western
Australia, since the publication of Mr. Gould's Hand-book, not a single new species peculiar to that
region, has been obtained.
As yet I have not seen the following, but judging from the description alone, given in a newspaper
report, of a paper read before the Philosophical Society of Queensland, J regret to say, they appear
to me to have been all previously described. Acanthizajiaviyaster, J)\g^\es, = Gerygone albogularis,

Lamproccyx modesfa, Diggles = young of L. basalis. Milnis striatum, Diggles = Henicopernis, the
Faico Jotiyiccnida Ot Garnot.*
Uulabeorn/is yriseoventris, Diggles. Cinnyris aspasvv, Ceyx solitaruis, with Henicopernis
hngicauda, are said to have been obtained near Cape York, but are of donbtful origin. Mr.
Cockerell's large collection was made chiefly at the Aru Islands, wjiere these species were probaljly
collected. Some more authentic proof of their being obtained on the Australian Continent must
be forthcoming before they are admitted into our list of birds ; nevertheless it is not improbable
that Henicopernis hngicauda, Ceyx solitarius, and Cinnyris asjiasia- may yet be found at
Cape Yoi'k, as we have authentic specimens from Port ^Moresby, on the South Coast of
New Guinea.
For corrections in the nomenclature I am indebted to valuable papers by tlie following gentlemen: —
Messrs. R. B. Sharpe, H. Seebohin, J. E. Harting, Howard Saunders, and to the following works: —

M. amabilis could not possibly be a female. We have since obtained young birds, .said to be females,
in the broum plumage, characteristic of that sex of this genus ; they agree well with the plate of the
female given by Mr. Gould in his Supp. to Bds. of Australia, pi. 29, but may be the females of a

30 REMARKS ON FOREGOING LIST OF AUSTRALIAN BIRDS.
Ptilotis gracilis, Gould. {Ptilutis notata, Gould, Supp. Bds. Aust., pi. -11).
Notwithstanding Mr. Gould's remarks respecting these so-called species, I consider them to be
varieties, identical with P. similis, of MM. Hombron and Jacquinot, a very variable species both in
size, and in the extent and shape of the yellow patch on the ear-coverts, as well as in the length of
the bill, and of the nariow yellow stripe from the angle of the mouth to under the eye. In some of
the numerous specimens examined, one from Rockingham Bay, has this stripe almost obsolete,
Mr. Gould mentions a specimen of F. notata from Dunk Island, which is opposite Rockingham Bay,
but I find that specimens from this disti-ict agree so well with the original description of P. similis,
of Homb. et Jacq. (Voyage au Pole Sud., sp. 46), that there can be no doubt of all three being mere
varieties of one and the same species, which will of course retain the name of Ptilutis similis.
Its range extends from Rockingham Bay, north to New Guinea. The following ai^e the measurements
of one of the smaller specimens in the Dobroyde collection. Total length :3-2 inch to tip of bill ;
bill 0"8, wing 2-7, tail 2-2, tai-si O'T inches; this small variety from Queensland may be known as
P. gracilis, Gould.

Guinea. This will probably Ije my Astur sharpei. I feel convinced it is not the true A. emeritus
of Gould, which has recently been rediscovered by the late Mr. Boyer-Bower, near Derby, N. W.
Australia, and is a good and distinct species.

This is merely a las. 'lud. of A. scaindatus (cyanopyyius). Patches of yellow feathers frequently
may be observed in the plumage of this species ; when last in the Richmond River district I shot
one with a patch of yellow on the abdomen, and another with yellow feathers on the back of the
head ; there is one now in the Australian Museum with a row of yellow feathers on the upper wing-
coverts, and another with a yellow tinge pervading the whole of the upper surface. Mr. Shaw, who
shot the bird described l)y Mr. Gould, informed me that it had paired with a female in the ordinary
plumage of that sex of A. scapulaius.

following measurements of an adult from Tasmania. Total length 16"8, wing 8'5, tail 4'5, tarsi 3-3,
mid-toe without nail 2"9 inches. There is no authentic record of the bird being found in Western

Tliis species, both sexes of which so closely resemble tlie female of Aiias castanea, appears to be
distributed all over Australia, except perhaps the north-west portion. Under the name of .^1. gracilis,
Buller describes it from New Zealand. I know of no marks by which the immature birds of tliese

adult females of both individuals. Type of A. gracilis from New Zealand examined.

and nape blackish-brown, minutely marked with fulvous-white ; throat, fore neck, and sides of the

32 REMARKS ON FOREGOING LIST OF AUSTRALIAN BIRDS.
Pachycephala occidentalis, s}). nov.
FacJit/cephalagutturalis; Gould, Bds. Aust., fol. Vol. II., pi. 64 ; id. Handbook Bds. Aust., I., p. 207.
Finding it necessary to separate the yellow-breasted PacltijcepliaJa of "Western Australia from
that of New South Wales, I embrace the present opportunity of stating my reasons for so doing
and of pointing out the differences between these two species. While lately examining a large series
of Pachycejyhcdcfi from various parts of Australia, my attention was drawn by Mr Masters to the
deep rufous tint, on the under surface of the females of the Western examples, of the so-called P.
giittu7'alis; and after comparing a very large number of specimens from both New South Wales and
Western Australia, I have come to the conclusion that although closely allied, they are specifically
distinct. Mr. Gould's description, and the plate of the /''. gutturalis in his work, have evidently
been taken from Western examples, from which the Turdtcs gutturalis of Latham may be easily
distinguished.
Adult male. Tjike Pachycephala gutturalis, JjSith., but distinct, in having the tail grey without
any wash of olive on the margins of the basal portion of the feathers, the blackish subterminal band
in width less than one-third of the total length ; the yellow neck band very indistinct, or broken on
the back of the neck, the olive of the upper surface of a more greenish tint, and the yellow of the
under surface slightly paler.
Adult female. Like that sex of P. gictturalis, Lath., but having the lower part of the chest,
flanks, the abdomen, and under tail coverts rufous-bufi", under wing-coverts light rufous-buff.
Sexes alike in size ; total length G'i inclies, wing 3-55 inches, tail 3-1 inches, tarsi 0-9 inch, bill
from forehead, 0'6 inch.
In the Pachycephala gutturalis. Lath., of New South Wales, the male has the basal half of the
tail grey, and always tvashed tvith olice, of the same tint as the back, and the subterminal blackish
band extends towards the base for a least one-half of the total length ; the yellow neck-band is zvell-
defined on the back of the neck. In the females the lower part of the chest is ashy grey, becoming
white on the abdomen and under tail- and wing-coverts. These difierences will at once serve to
distinguish the two species.
Oriolus affinis, Gould.
Mr. R. B. Sliarpe,* seems to doubt the existence of a third Oriole in Australia — 0. affinis, Gould.
I can only assure Ornithologists that in my opinion this is a good species, and fairly described
by Mr. Gould, and that it has nothing whatever to do with the young of 0. flavicincta, as supposed
by Mr. Sharpe. This bird is smaller than 0. viridis, the bill larger, the wings shorter, the tarsi
smaller, the breast duller, less olive-green on the chest, the striaj continued on to the flanks and
abdomen, no strife on the throat, which is greyish Avashed with olive-green ; more grey on the
primaries, the secondaries and coverts with a narrower white margin ; and a small spot of white

only on the inner weVis of the tail featiiers at the tip. Total length from the tip of bill to tip of
tail in the tlesh Qi inch, wing O'."), tail .'VJ, tarsus 0-7 inches, bill from forehead 1"2, from gape
1'3 inches. Jlab. Gulf District, X.W. <^ujenslaucl, and Dawson River District, <kc.
The eggs of this species are similar to those of its ally 0. virldis, but smaller and not so rich in
colour, they are of a very light creamy bufi", with dark olive-brown spots, and a few of a pale lilac
or slaty tint, appearing as if beneath the shell ; the spots are sprinkled all over the surface rather
widely apart. Length (A) 1-3 x 0-9 ; length (B) 1-22 x 0-88.
Pycnoptilus floccosus, Gould.
" The true habitat of this rare I)ird has been somewhat a mystery ever since its discovery ; the belts
of the Murray River were always put down as the locality from whence the original specimens came.
Some years ago, Mr. James Ramsay met with it on the Murrumbidgee River, but only on one occasion.
AustraKan Ornithologists, therefore, may be pleased to hear that the bird is an inhal)itant of the
Coast-ranges near Sydney, New South Wales, from whence I have recently seen some beautiful
specimens, obtained by Mr. J. A. Thorpe, our skilful taxidermist. These birds were carefully sexed
but the sexes show no difference in the plumage. A pair measure as follows : — Male — Total length
G inches ; wing 2"55 inch ; tail 3 inches ; tarsus I'l inch ; bill from forehead, 0'7 inch : bill from
gape, 0"75. Female — Total length 6 inches ; wing 2--15 inches ; tail 2-9 inches; tarsus I'l inch ;
bill from forehead, 7 inch; bill from gape, 0'73 inch. Hab. Brushes of coast-range, New South
Wales, near Sydney.
The occurrence of Pachyceiiiliala oHvacea and of GhjciphUa albijrons, with Campephaga jardinii
(tenuirostre), Jard., within a few miles of Sydney is also worth recording."
Since the foregoing notes appeared in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London (P.Z.S.,
1881, p. 839) additional information on the habits and niditication of this interesting species has
been received ; I take the following remarks from the Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New
South Wales, 2nd Series, Vol. 1., 1886, p. 1139 : — " Some months ago I made some remarks on the
occurence of this hitherto scarce bird in New South Wales, prior to which it had only been recorded
from our more southern provinces. Our taxidermist Mr. J. A. Thorpe, procured some beautiful
specimens in the flesh at Cambewarra, about one hundred miles south of Port Jackson ; and Mr.
Yardley of that district has forwarded quite recently, the nest and eggs taken by Mr. Sinclair, a
timber-getter, working in the adjacent scrubs. The nest I am informed, was placed on, or very near
the ground, among some debris on a bank or slope ; it is rather a loose structure, built of shreds of
bark chiefly, and lined with feathers of various kinds, among which may be distinguished those of
the Lyrebird, Cat-bird, and some of the Pycaoptilas itself. In form it is somewliat dome-sliaped,
placed on its side, and with a large, rough ill-detined opening, which was probably narrowed by
the adjacent debris among which it was placed. The eggs, two in number for a sitting, are in tint
of a dark rich purplish-brown like those of Serlcor)iis citreoyularis, with an indistinct zone at the
larger end of a blackish tint, and a few ill-delined ol)Solete spots of the same on the other parts,
34 REMARKS OX FOREGOING LIST OF AUSTRALIAN RIRDS.
they are smaller and more dot-like nearer the thin end, where the ground colour is slightly lighter
in tint ; they measure as follows (A) 1 inch by 0-75 inch ; (B) 0-95 inch by 0-75. They are decidedly
swollen and much shorter in proportion, but otherwise like the dark variety of eggs of Sericornis
citreogularis. Mr. A. J. North, to whom I am indebted for many new localities for Victorian
and South Australian birds, took a nest of this species so far back as October 1878, at Childers, in
South Gippsland, Victoria, and exhibited the first specimens I had seen, at the International
Exhibition held in Melbourne 1880, informs me that this species was very plentiful in that district
up to 1881, but the numerous clearings made by the ' selectors,' have since driven the birds to
other parts. The eggs, he states show no difference from those here described, except that some
are slightly longer, and not so swollen as others. Specimens have also been recently received from
the scrubs clothing the Blue Mountains, within fifty miles of Sydney."
Gerygone flavida, Ramsay, P.L.S., N.S.W., Vol. II., p. 53.
I have lately seen specimens of a Gerygone from the North-east Coast, which seem to indicate
that my < ie/njy one flavida \B,o\\\y t\\e female of Mr. Gould's Gerijyone personata; but notwithstanding
the "-reat similarity in size and plumage, further proof will be necessary, as we have lately received
the adults, male and female, of G. flavida, shot on taking their nest and eggs, and three males
examined are exactly alike in plumage to the female ; but it is not improbable that the young males
of G. personata resemble the females in plumage, and breed before attaining the adult male livery.
No specimens, however, in the plumage of the adult male of G. j^rrsonata have been yet obtained
from Rockingham Bay.
Platycercus pennantii far. nigrescens, Ramsay.
This northern variety may be distinguished by its smaller size, thicker and more robust bill, and
the deeper tint of crimson in its plumage; in some a few violet feathers appear on the chest; those

one specimen. Hah. Bellenden-Ker Range, Queensland.

NOTES AND EEFEEENCES.
5. NiNOX ALBAKiA, sj>. nov. Specimens of a small Ninox from Lord Howe
Island differ considerably from either of the continental forms N.
MACULATA Or N. BOOBOOK, and also from N. nov^-zealandi^, to which
latter it is most closely allied ; this species, which I propose to
distinguish under the nams of Ninox albaria, may be briefly
described: — The face, lores, forehead, chin, and upper part of the
throat in some specimens, snow-white; the general colour of the
plumage rich fawn or rusty -brown, deeper in tint on the sides of the
chest and under surface and upper tail-coverts ; each feather of the
chest has two distinct roundish spots of white which elongate
transversly and form two detached bars on the breast but becom e
confluent on the flanks, the feathers of the under tail-coverts are
white with a terminal bar and centre shaft-spot of rufous -brown ;
abdomen, legs and thighs rufous-brown, paler on the inner parts ; no
spots on the head, or hind neck ; the mantle and interscapular region,
without spots in some but sparingly spotted with white on the
concealed parts of the feathers in other individuals. Scapulars with
two broken bands of white which sometimes take the form of oval spots
on either side of the shafts of the feathers. Wings with seven to
eight dull ashy bands. Centre two tail feathers without any bands,
the others with about ten oblique narrow ashy bauds on the inner
webs only, except the outer feathers on either side, where they are
just distinguishable ; a few spots of white on the concealed portions
of the rump and upper tail-coverts. Bill black, feet dull yellowish-
brown ; bristles brown. Length 12 inches ; wing, 8 inches ; tail, 6
inches; tarsus, 1 '7 inch ; bill from forehead 1' inch. Some of the
New Zealand specimens come very close to the Lord Howe Island
birds, but lack the white face, lores, and chin. Should they eventually
prove to be indentical, this will form an interesting link, connecting
the avifauna of the two Islands. The Norfolk Island bird is said to
be Ninox boobook, but it is more likely to prove to be Ninox nov^i;-
ZEALANDI.E, Or pcfhaps the present species.

between the Norfolk Island specimens and those from Lord Howe

to the New Zealand form of that species.

8. Strepeba cbissalis, Gould, MSS., Sharpe, Brit. Mus., Cat. Bds., Vol.
III., p. 58, pi. ii. Hub. Lord Howe Island. The chief characteristic
of S. GRissALis, appears to be in the colouring of the under tail
coverts, and the basal portion of the rectrices, which parts are
described by Mr. Sharpe as being resi^ectively l)nffy-white and pale
rufous ; these tints, however, are not constant in all specimens fi-om
that locality, since in many recently received these parts ai-e pure white
as in S. graculina ; there must be then either two distinct species
found on Lord Howe Island, viz., S. graculina and S. cbissalis, or
what is more probable the buffy colouring is merely an accidental
staining of these parts. A violet discolouration is sometimes found
in sj^ecimens of Strepera obaculina, shot in the neighbourhood of
Sydney, this being occasioned by the birds feeding upon a species of
ink-weed (Phytolacca):
Procellaria atlantica, Gould; P. phillipii, G. R. Gray; P. gigantea,
Gmelin, are recorded from iforfolk Island, but the descriptions of
these birds as given by Gray and Gould are so meagre and indefinite
that it is impossible to ascertain to what species they refer ; the
present bird No. 52, agrees best with Procellaria gouldii of Ilutton.
