THE COLORATION OF THE PALATE AND
PHARYNX OF AUSTRALIAN BIRDS.

By J. Burton CLELAND.

AN examination of the mouth-cavities of Australian birds
will reveal, in certain families and genera, a tendency to
marked coloration. The chief departures from the
ordinary flesh-colour of this part consist in black and
grey tints (Acanthiza, Aphelocephala) and in yellow or
orange (many Meliphagide). In cases where the bill is
highly or unusually coloured, the pigmentation may
extend to the palate and even pharynx, as in Geopelia
humeralis, Heematopus fuliginosus, Myiagra rubecula and
M. nitida, and Monarcha melanopsis.

The only Cuckoo examined, Cacomantis flabelliformis,
has a vividly-coloured pharynx, varying from orange to
pink. The Petrecas have yellowish throats, apparently

i a generic feature. In six species of <Acanthiza, the
pharynx is dark to black—again a generic point. An
anomalous result, requiring confirmation, is seen in
Pachycephala rufiventris, where, in the male, this part is:

2 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD [Vol. II.

whitish whilst in the female it is black. Aphelocephala
leucopsis has always a black throat.

The most important findings are seen in the Melipha-
gide. This family may be divided into two groups,
those having orange or yellow pharynxes and those
having black. Three out of four species of Melithreptus
have the former, nine out of ten species of Piilotis,
Anellobia chrysoptera, and Acanthogenys rufiqularis. Three
species of Meliornis have black throats and also Piéilotis
melanops. 1am inclined to think that the genus Weliornis
has been derived from Ptilotis through melanotic mutants,
and that this genus is more closely allied to Ptilotis
melanops than to the orange-throated species. A mela-
notic change in plumage, undoubtedly shown in Meliornis,
might quite well be related to a melanotic pigmentation
of the pharynx. In several other genera of the Meli-
phagide, pigmentation was not noticeable.

The following is the list of the birds examined for the
colour of their pharynx :—

Emu, Vol. VII., 1907-8). Unpigmented conditions are described in the

ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS TO MY
REFERENCE LIST.

By Grecory M. MatTHEws.

81. EULABEORNIS PHILIPPENSIS YORKI, subsp. n.
Northern Buff-banded Rail.

Differs from H. p. australis in its smaller size and in
having the buff band on the chest much darker.

Type, Cape York.

Range, Cape York, North Queensland.

2478. ESACUS MAGNIROSTRIS QUEENSLANDICUS, subsp. n.
Eastern Long-billed Stone-Plover.
Differs from H. m. neglecta in being darker above.
Wing, 283 mm.; culmen, 74; tarsus, 97.
Type, Mackay, Queensland.
Range, North Queensland.

313. CARBO FUSCESCENS Vieillot,
replaces
Carbo gouldi.

In the Nouv. Dict d’Hist. Nat., Vol. VIII, p. 86,
1817, Vieillot described Hydrocorax fuscescens, writing:
“On trouvé cet oiseau dans Jl Australasiae.” The
specimen was in immature plumage and Vieillot added :
“Son plumage terne me fait soupconner que ce n'est
pas une espéce particuliére ; mais je ne puis déterminer
celle dont il fait partie, ne connoissant que son exterieur.”

When Pucheran (Rev. Zool. 1850, p. 625) reviewed
the Vieillotian types, he confirmed Vieillot’s doubt by
concluding that it was simply the immature of P. varius
Gmelin. But he added that it was collected by Péron
and Lesueur and labelled “ Timor.’’ In the Cat. Birds
Brit. Mus., Vol. XX VI., H. fuscescens is therefore included
in the synonymy of P. varius, a New Zealand bird.
But the student of Australasian ornithology knows that
Péron and Lesueur did not collect in New Zealand, and
also that much of the material gathered by these workers
was wrongly labelled in Paris, Australian specimens
being credited to Timor and vice versa.

No. 1.] THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD 7

I therefore wrote to Paris, but as the authorities were
unwilling to send the specimen to England on account
of its age and the risk, I forwarded to M. Ménegaux
coloured drawings of the heads of the two Australian
species, showing the differences in the bare parts of the
face, which are the same in immature and adult.
M. Ménegaux carefully examined the specimen, and also
sent me a drawing which leaves no doubt as to the
identity of Vieillot’s species: and the above change
becomes necessary. The nomenclature will be :—

Carbo fuscescens fuscescens Vieillot.
Carbo fuscescens tunneyi Mathews.

325. PH#THON LEPTURUS DOROTHE, subsp. n.
Australian White-tailed Tropic-Bird.

Differs from P. 1. lepturus Daudin in having less black
on the primaries, and in having a red bill.

Type, Queensland, Australia, ~«. Carma; bet, / 9,

Range, East Australian seas. Extra limital.

On p. 189, Vol. I., of this Journal, I pointed out that
Falco lunulatus Latham, 1801, was pre-occupied by
Falco lunulatus Daudin, 1800. I there suggested that
“« frontatus’”’ Gould was the next name to use. Since
then my friend Dr. Charles Richmond has sent me
_ the dates of publication of Swainson’s works, and I
find that Swainson’s Animals in Menageries came out
in January Ist, 1838, while Gould’s Synopsis of the Birds
of Australia, part mr., was not published till April, 1838.

This necessitates the following changes :—

368. FALCO LONGIPENNIS LONGIPENNIS Swainson,
replaces
Falco lunulatus lunulatus Latham,

and a synonym of this is Falco melanotus White and
Mellor, Emu, Vol. XII., p. 164, 1913; Flinders Island.

369. FALCO LONGIPENNIS MURCHISONIANUS Mathews,
replaces
Falco lunulatus murchisonianus.

8 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD _ [Vol. II.

3694. FALCO LONGIPENNIS APSLEYI Mathews,
replaces
Falco lunulatus apsley.

On p. 251, No. 365,
Falco PEREGRINUS MACROPUS Swainson,
replaces
Falco peregrinus melanogenys Gould,
for the same reason as above.

5284. CALAMANTHUS CAMPESTRIS MACGILLIVRAYI, subsp. n.
Long-billed Field-Wren.
Differs from C. c. isabellinus in having a longer bill, and
in having the head much redder, and the ear-coverts red.
Type, Wyurra, Broken Hill, New South Wales.
Range, New South Wales (Inland).

582. Add as synonym—

1913; North Queensland.

624. MIcR@CA FASCINANS HOWEI, subsp. n. ~
Allied Brown Flycatcher.

Differs from M. f. fascinans in having the outer tail-
feathers white only on the outer web except at the base,
and the inner web with a large spot of white on the
point; the next feather with a large white spot on the
point. In M. f. fascinans those two feathers are white.

Type, Kow Plains, Victoria; September 6th, 1911.

Range, Victoria (Mallee).

Allied Buff-rumped Tit.

The type of Mr. North’s Geobasileus australis, collected
at Woodside, South Australia, by Mr. Edwin Ashby,
is now before me. The above new species was collected
by Captain S. A. White, about twenty miles north of
Adelaide. It differs from A. r. australis North, in being
much darker above, having no rufous on the fore-head,
and in having a very narrow buff rump; the throat
has the feathers white, fringed with brown ; rest of under-
surface brown, lighter down the middle of the belly.

MATTINGLEYA INORNATA (RAMSAY).

Dr. Witt1aAmM Maceiiiivray of Broken Hill, sent me
over some birds collected at Cape York. Amongst them
he included a “ Robin” that he could not name. It
turned out to be “ Pachycephala peninsule’’ Hartert.
I wrote to Dr. Macgillivray to this effect, and he replied
that he had since sent examples to Mr. North, who said
. it was “ Hopsaltria inornata ’’ of Ramsay (Proc. Zool. Soc.
(Lond.) 1874, p. 604), Rockingham Bay, Queensland.

Dr. Macgillivray says it certainly is not a Pachycephala
in its habits; it as surely is not an Hopsaltria.

In the Austral Avian Record, Vol. I., p. 111, I intro-
duced a new genus for it.

As this bird has been a stumbling-block to many, I
take this opportunity of giving the nomenclature :—

MATTINGLEYA GRISEICEPS INORNATA. Grey Thickhead.

Eopsaltria * inornata Ramsay, Proc. Zool. Soc. (Lond.)
1874, p. 604; Rockingham Bay, Queensland.
Synonym :

NEW GENERA AND SPECIES.
AUSTROTIS, gen. nov.

Dirrers from Choriotis (type C. arabs) in its shorter,
broader bill; probably we have here a case of conver-
gence, as the nostrils in Choriotis are placed at some
distance from the base of the culmen, while in Austrotis
they are very near the base; the tarsus is more than
three times the length of the middle toe in Choriotis,
whereas in Austrotis it is less; the wing-formule in the
two genera are different ; in Choriotis the third, fourth,
and fifth primaries are sub-equal and longest; the fifth
primary in Austrotis is longest, the sixth being equal
to the fourth and longer than the third.

Type, Otis australis Gray.

NEONECTRIS, gen. nov.

Differs from Thyellodroma (type Puffinus chlororhynchus)
in its rounded tail, which is less than one-third the length
of the wing ; in Thyellodroma the tail is wedged-shaped,
and is about half the length of the wing; the culmen
is less than three-fourths the length of the metatarsus
in Neonectris, whereas in Thyellodroma it is more; the
bill is slender and puffinoid and unlike that of “‘ Puffinus ”
carnervpes Gould.

Type, Puffinus brevicaudus Gould.

KEMPIELLA, gen. nov. _

Differs from Tregellasia Mathews in having the rictal
bristles much less developed, very small legs and feet,
and in having the first primary smaller in proportion,
that is less than half the length of the second. In
Tregellasia the first primary is longer than half the
second.

Type, K. kempi Mathews.

6854. Kempiella kempi, sp. n.
Yellow-breasted Robin.

General colour above green, including the wing-coverts
and rump; head grey ; primaries greyish-brown, on the

No. 1.] THH AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD 13

outer edge a line of green ; tail-feathers like the primaries ;
throat white, remainder of under-surface yellow, like
the under wing-coverts; upper mandible black, lower
yellow ; iris black ; feet yellow. Total length 120 mm. ;
culmen 10 (7 wide), wing 69, tarsus 14, tail 54.
Type and Range, Cape York, North Queensland.
Collected by Mr. Robin Kemp on February 28th, 1913.

This is a most interesting addition to the Australian
-avifauna. Its nearest allies seem to be the forms
Eopsaliria capito Gould and H. nana Ramsay. These
forms have been bandied about, at one time placed in
Hopsaltria and classed in the family Laniide, at another
in Pecilodryas and referred to the Muscicapide. In
the ‘“‘ Reference List” I lumped both the genera named
with Pachycephala, and included all in the latter family.
I later separated the members of the genus Pachycephala
(sensu lat.) into restricted genera, and was compelled
to introduce Tregellasia for the species named. They
were very aberrant and of restricted locale. The present
species gives us a nearer ally than hitherto known, but
its weak legs and feet amply distinguish it. In the
British Museum collection is a specimen from British
New Guinea which has been wrongly identified, so
that we have the fact that the present species also occurs
in that country. Whether Tregellasia is the offshoot
of Kempiella or vice versa is at present indeterminable,
but further collections will help to solve the question,
and also determine the relationship of both.

14 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD _ [Vol. II.

ON SOME INTERESTING BIRDS IN THE
VIENNA MUSEUM.

By Tom IREDALE.

RECENTLY passing through Vienna, I took the opportunity
of examining some New Zealand birds, and also made
notes on two or three others of interest in connexion
with that avifauna.

In the Annal k. k. naturhist Hofmuseum Wien, Vol.
XVII., 1902, pp. 301-322, Lorenz contributed a paper
entitled ‘‘ Zur Ornis Neuseelands,’’ which was based on
a collection obtained from Reischek. To all students of
New Zealand ornithology the name of Reischek is
familiar, and he stands alone as the most assiduous and
painstaking collector and observer that has ever worked
in New Zealand. It was abvious then that some good
results would be obtained from a careful study of
Reischek’s collection, and Jorenz’s notes on the New
Zealand Pseudogerygone, Anthus, and Nestor-are exceed-
ingly valuable, and his paper is one of the most
estimable contributions yet made to New Zealand
ornithology. Unfortunately, Lorenz only dealt with the
Passeriformes, Picarian birds, Psittaciformes, Accipitri-
formes, Strigiformes, and Columbiformes, the remainder
of the collection being left unworked.

When Mathews and I drew up the “ Reference List to
the Birds of New Zealand” (Ibis, 1913, pp. 201-263),
we made full use of [iorenz’s notes, and often deplored
the fact that the Orders in which we were most interested
had been left untouched. At that time I had no idea

that an opportunity of examining Rieschek’s birds

should so soon present itself, and it is somewhat
unfortunate that these notes must be presented as a
supplement instead of being incorporated in that
‘“‘ Reference List.”’

The Reischek collection is noteworthy in that immature
and nestlings are well represented.

GALLIRALLUS HECTORI (Hutton).

In the Ibis, 1913, p. 213, Mathews and I showed that
the name Aallus australis Sparrman had been misapplied,
and. concluded : “'The common South Island Wood-Hen
must for the present bear the name G. hectori, which
was proposed by Hutton for an Alpine form which longer
series may show worthy of separation.” This opinion
has been confirmed by examination of the series collected
by Reischek: a fine lot from Canterbury are quite
constant and can obviously not be confused with typical
G. hectori (Hutton) of which the original description
reads: “‘ It general hue is isabella brown or fawn coloured
with the primary feathers rounded,” contrasting it with
the lowland bird which Hutton called “ troglodytes.”

For the lowland bird, which differs in its darker
coloration and smaller size and which has been well
described and figured in Buller’s Birds of New Zealand,
1873, p. 170, under the name “ Ocydromus australis,” I
propose the name “ Gallirallus hectori reischeki,”’ subsp n. :
Type in coll. G. M. Mathews.

PORPHYRIO ALBUS (White).

In the Birds of Australia, Vol. I., 1911, pp. 247-255,
“Mathews has so fully discussed this bird that nothing
further appears to be necessary. The beautiful figures
there given would seem to be sufficient to satisfy any
student, and I entirely agree with the results put forward
by Mathews. The only poimt where criticism might
be directed is that Mathews did not personally examine
the Vienna Museum, unique specimen.

Yet in the Official Checklist of the Birds of Australia
(Emu, Vol. XII., Supplement 1913) an “ Appendix B”
is included, pp. 107-108, giving a “‘ List of Birds peculiar
to Lord Howe and Norfolk Islands,” and therein is
included “ Notornis alba White,” though Mathews had
clearly shown that this bird was referable to Porphyrio.
Mathews was dependent on photos of the Vienna bird,
but these were very clear and conclusive. The action

16 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD _ [Vol. II.

of the Checklist Committee is therefore incomprehensible,
and though on page 4 a footnote reads: “Mr. Basset
Hull was deputed to prepare a ‘ List of Birds Peculiar
to Lord Howe and Norfolk Islands,’ which list appears
as Appendix B to this Checklist,’ I can scarcely believe
that he is responsible for this strange manner of dealing
with accurate and painstaking work. In the same List
and place, “ Ocydromus sylvestris Sclater”’ is used for
the ‘‘ Rufous-winged Moor-Hen ” of Lord Howe Island.
The same remarks apply here, as Mathews in the Birds
of Australia (Vol. I., 1911, p. 191, note) had pointed out
that this species would better be placed in T'richolimnas
Sharpe, and had no relationship with Gallirallus
(=Ocydromus) : I had previously shown that Ocydromus
was untenable (Nov. Zool., Vol. XVIII., 1911, p. 22),
being preoccupied. In view of these citations, which are
only characteristic of the blunders which disfigure the
pages of the Official Checklist, the opening sentence,
“it becomes necessary to publish an acceptable...
Checklist,” reads very like sarcasm.

This note is simply to record the fact that I have
carefully examined the unique type of Fulica alba White,
and it is unquestionably referable to Porphyrio, and has
not the least resemblance to the New Zealand bird-
known formerly as “ Notornis mantelli,’ but which
should be called Mantellornis hochstetterr Meyer. I
have carefully and many times examined the two
specimens of this latter bird preserved in the British
Museum, and also the specimen in the Otago Museum,
Dunedin, New Zealand, so may claim a fair acquaint-
ance with this species. With regard to the generic
position of the Lord Howe Islands Woodhen, “ Ocydromus
sylvestris Sclater,”’ it may be as well to add'that I have
criticised the specimens here, and again I must endorse
Mathews’s generic location. It has certainly no relation-
ship with the New Zealand Gallirallus, and in this
conclusion every ornithologist to whom I have shown
the specimens fully agrees.

HUDYPTULA MINOR (Forster).

In the Ibis 1913, pp. 222-3, Mathews and I recognised
three subspecies as occurring in New Zealand, viz.
E. minor minor (Forster), Both Islands ; H. m. albosignata
Finsch, South Island (Banks Peninsula, breeding); and
E. m. iredalet Mathews, Chatham Islands.

This conclusion was based upon the results obtained
by Mathews, as set forth in the Birds of Australia,
Vol. I., 1911, pp. 281-286, where my own experience
was embodied.

In the Vienna Museum is a fine series of H. minor,
collected at various places both in the North and South
Islands, and they clearly show that the wndina recognised
by Reischek is merely a stage in the progress of the
species from infancy to maturity. From the fact that
EH. minor ranges practically unchanged through both
islands, while H. albosignata is so well differentiated by
means of its peculiar pale slate-blue coloration, I would
now recognise the latter as specifically distinct. This
seems the more reasonable course in view of the very
close relationship that the Australian breeding forms
bear to the typical H. minor. The fully-adult Australian
specimens I have examined, have the bill longer than in
the New Zealand forms. The very short, thick bill of
E. m. tredalei Mathews from the Chatham Islands seems
to be quite constant.

The names, therefore to be used would be—

EH. minor minor (Forster). Both Islands (breeding).

E. minor iredalei Mathews. Chatham Islands
(breeding).

E. albosignata Finsch. Banks Peninsula, South

Island (breeding).

REINHOLDIA REINHOLDI (Mathews).

In the Vienna Museum, specimens of this species are
labelled Puffinus obscurus and P. gavia, and most inter-
esting are specimens of the young in all stages.

In the Birds of Australia, Vol. II., 1912, pp. 53-74,

B

18 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD _ [Vol. II.

Mathews showed that the name P. gavia Forster, had
been misapplied, and gave to the New Zealand bird,
commonly called P. gavia, the new name P. reinholdi,
and differentiated two subspecies ; later in this periodical
he introduced for this species the generic name Reinholdia.

In the Ibis, 1913, p. 225, Mathews and I accepted
that. generic name, and noted that Buller had confused
some other species with this, and also that Reischek’s
and Sandager’s accounts, presumably of the same species,
did not agree.

The examination of Reischek’s specimens proved
interesting. Firstly, they undoubtedly belong to the
present species and were collected on Hauturu Island ;
secondly, Mathews (l.c., p. 74) quotes Buller’s descrip-
tion of the nestling, and this seems to show the
accuracy of our remarks regarding Buller’s knowledge
of the New Zealand Petrels, for it disagrees absolutely
with the nestlings I examined, and which are unques-
tionably the present species : these are wholly brownish-
black and have not the whitish under-surface seen in
the nestling of P. assimilis; thirdly, the imtroduction
of the generic Reinholdia is confirmed by examination
of the bill-characters shown by the nestling.

Mathews, in the Birds of Australia, Vol. Il., 1912,
p- 130, has given beautiful figures of the bills of downy
young of the genera Pterodroma and Puffinus, showing
the great difference there exists in the bill-characters
at this stage. It was therefore great pleasure to find
these downy specimens of this aberrant Pujfinus, as
none were previously available.

The bill is “ puffinoid ’ in character, as exemplified
in the figures given by Mathews above noted, but is
peculiar in its extreme length and weak nail; in the
fully downy nestling the exposed culmen measures
30 mm., while in the fully adult it only measures 35 mm.,
the difference may be best expressed by comparison
with the young of P. assimilis gavia, where the bill in
the fully-downy nestling only measures 16 mm., against

No. 1.] THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD 19

that in the adult of 27; the nail in the downy nestling
is just one-third the length of the culmen, whereas in
P.a. gavia it is about one half, a difference in proportion
which constitutes a great distinction in this group.

PUFFINUS ASSIMILIS GAVIA (Forster).

I was perplexed to see the breeding-dates of this bird
on Hauturu Island. On Norfolk Island, the Kermadecs,
and also West Australia, the species breeds in the winter
months (July, etc.), yet here the paired adults were
collected in November, and the downy nestling just
hatched in January. Reischek had recorded this fact,
and the dated specimens prove it.

The series also averaged larger than Kermadec birds,
with a longer metatarsus, and also showed the blue
upper portion of the lores mentioned by Mathews
(es, po oz):

PUFFINUS CARNEIPES CARBONARIUS Mathews.

In the Birds of Australia, Vol. Il., p. 89 et seg., 1912,
Mathews has separated the Norfolk Island form of this
species as P. c. hullianus, and reprinted the description
prepared by Solander of a New Zealand killed specimen.

A fine series was collected by Reischek on Karewa
Island, and quaintly labelled “ Puffinus tenwrostris.”
I write “ quaintly,” as this species has a heavy bill, as
will hereafter be noted.

The measurements read—

G cul. 44-45, wing 319-321, metatarsus 53-54.

OQ ,, 41-48, ,, 320-322 50.5-52.
These read somewhat peculiarly as they point to the
males having a longer bill and longer tarsus, though
exactly the same wing-length, as females.

This species has been commonly and _ consistently
placed in Puffinus, though we read in Mathew’s account
that Solander noted ‘“‘ media inter Nectres & Procellarias,”’
where Nectris was used for the thin-billed Puffinus.

The juveniles collected by Reischek show that we
have another instance similar to that of Pterodroma and

Be

20 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD _ [Vol. II.

Puffinus (sensu lat.), which Mathews has shown to be
so different in bill-characters when nestlings, yet so
similar when adult.

The bill, retaining the egg-tooth, recalls that of
Procellaria parkinsont Gray, hereafter described. It is
short, wide at base and deep; the laterals of the under-
mandible are strongly defined, and the nail is very
heavy and distinct ; the nostrils are distinct on each side
of the culmen, but point upwards with a somewhat
rounded aperture. It is -puffinoid in character, but
cannot be classed with any other species I know of. If
therefore propose the new generic name HHMIPUF-
FINUS for Puffinus carneipes Gould.

PUFFINUS BREVICAUDUS Brandt.

In the Birds of Australia, Vol. IT., 1912, p. 100, footnote,
Mathews wrote: “ Although P. brevicaudus is generally
quoted as Brandt (Ic. Ross. Av., t. 6, f. 17) no trace can |
be found by me of the publication of such name. The
earliest mention I can find of it in literature is by Gould,
in the Birds of Australia, Vol. VII., pl. 56, 1847, when
he used it to displace his own P. brevicaudus, introduced
in 1844, but with no description.

My own researches gave the same results, so that I
was delighted to see in the Museum a specimen labelled
“ Puffinus brevicaudus Brandt,’ which had been procured
from, Brandt himself. ,

On the stand were two labels, the first reading—
“TIT. 1846. 10. Puffinus brevicaudus Brandt. Von
Brandt in Hamburg gkft. 6 f. Nova Hollandia ”’
the second having—
“J. G. W. Brandt, Puffinus brevicaudus, New
Holl. Hamburg.”

These labels were fully explained to me by Dr. Sassi.
The first No. (III.) refers to the numbered invoice, still
retained in the Museum, of all purchases, the second
(1846) refers to the year, and the third (10) to the number

No. 1.] THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD A}

of the bird on the invoice. The invoice was kindly
shown me by Dr. Sassi, where the bird was numbered 10
and called Puffinus brevicaudus by Brandt.

The second label has the name printed at the top and
the place printed at the bottom, and the words “ Puffinus
brevicaudus New Holl.” written in by Brandt himself.
This long explanation seems necessary, as this is the
first authentic specimen of Brandt’s P. brevicaudus 1
have seen, and it is of great historical interest as the
specimen is not referable to the species Gould called
brevicaudus. It is, of course, stuffed, and the measure-
ments I give are only approximately correct, but they
show it to be much closer to P. pacificus. It has a long
bill, long wings, and long wedge-shaped tail; the
exposed culmen measures approximately 45 mm., wing ©
320 mm., and tail 135 mm. These agree very close
with those of typical P. p. pacificus, but the bill shows
horny, not lead-blue. This may be due to drying, as
I have noted the bills sometimes show much difference
in life and in dried skins.

This tends to show that either Brandt did not know
his own species—as brevicaudus is inapplicable to this
specimen—-or else Brandt’s brevicaudus was quite dif-
ferent to Gould’s brevicaudus. The latter view might
be correct, as Brandt also sold a specimen of Gould’s
brevicaudus to the Vienna Museum under the name
“ Puffinus tenwrostris, ex Austr.”

PROCELLARIA HQUINOCTIALIS Linné, and
PROCELLARIA CONSPICILLATA Gould.

In the Birds of Australia, Vol. IT., 1912, pp. 108-115,
Mathews made the first scientific attempt to deal with
the forms lumped by previous workers under the name
P. equinoctialis.

In view of the fact that P. conspicillata had been
absolutely lumped by most writers, he only admitted
it as subspecifically distinct, though recording no inter-
gradation. He observed that though often “ seen in

22 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD _ [Vol. II. °

the South Atlantic, no specimens from that locality had
been examined by him.”

In the Vienna Museum I noted a strange conspicillated
Petrel, and upon examination the following data was
found attached—

“B. 32° 42’ Long. 12° 1’ Atlantic Ocean, coll. by
Zelebor Novara Exped ”’
and was named
“ F. conspicillatus.”

Upon reference to the Reise Novara Vogel, p. 143,
1863, the data is given as: “ Atlantischer Ocean, zwischen
Stid-Amerika und dem Cap. Mannchen (131) am 11,
September, 1857, unter 31° 40’ s. B. und 12° 41’ w. L.”

This specimen differs from the Australian-killed
specimens which agree with Mathews’s figure (l.c.), in
that the broad band across the top of head only comes
in front of the top of the eye and does not coalesce with
the band which runs from the chin-spot to the back of
the head under the eye. This lower band is also dis-
connected from the chin-spot. The bird was also smaller
and browner than P. equinoctialis, and my examination
of all the specimens available leads me to the following
conclusions :—

Two species have been confused under the specific
Procellaria cequinoctialis, the spectacled form being a
distinct species.

The conspicillate birds, in addition to the spectacling,
are smaller and browner, and when carefully criticised,
small but constant differences in the bill are seen to
exist. Though the bill in P. conspicillata is absolutely
shorter, the nasal tubes are proportionately longer ;
they are also shallower and more distinctly separated
from the laterals, and also from the feathering of the
fore-head by apparently dry skin; the laterals of the
upper-mandible are also less inflated. It is pleasing to
note that although Mathews lays no stress on these
characters, the artist in the figures on pp. 111-112 has

No. 1.] THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD 23

faithfully shown the longer nasal tubes and the inter-
vening space. I also noted that the nail seemed weaker,
and this also the artist has portrayed.

The form “ conspicillata’”’ I would therefore recognise
as a distinct species, and until further specimens of the
Atlantic bird are received, would recognise that as
subspecifically distinct under Lesson’s name of larvata.

The names to be used would read :—

Procellaria cequinoctialis cequinoctialis Linne ;
Far South Atlantic (? breeding at the Fa!kland
Islands).
P. a. mixta Mathews ;
Cape seas (? breeding at the Crozets and
Kerguelen Island).
P. a. steadi Mathews ;
New Zealand seas (breeding on Antipodes Island
and the Auckland Aue
P. a. brabournei Mathews ;
West Coast of South America (breeding-place
unknown).
Procellaria conspicillata conspicillata Gould ;
Australian seas (breeding-place unknown).
P. c. larvata Lesson ;
South Atlantic (breeding-place unknown).

In the Echo du Monde Savant, 12th year, No. 41,
col. 971, June Ist, 1845, Lesson described a conspicillate
bird from “les mers du Cap de Bonné Esperance,”’
and of course this name claims acceptance, though, as
far as I am aware, it has not hitherto been correctly
given.

_ It is a somewhat interesting point to note that the
breeding-place of this bird is unknown, while some half-
dozen breeding places of P. wquinoctialis are on record.

PROCELLARIA PARKINSONI Gray.

When Mathews. in the Birds of Australia, Vol. IV.,
1912, p. 130, gave figures of the juvenile bill-characters

24 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD _ [Vol. II.

of the species of Pterodroma and Puffinus, he noted
how, through neglect of these features, these appeared
to have been wrongly classed in previous monographs.
He was unable to examine juveniles of the species of
Procellaria, but concluded “ that it is probable Procellaria
should be associated with Puffinus.”

Being much interested in the study of nestling-Petrels,
I was delighted to see a fine series of the present species,
including downy nestlings. The bill-characters justify
Mathews’s remarks and clearly prove his acumen in
dealing with this difficult group.

The bill, still retainmg the egg-tooth, is much more
solid and shorter than in typical Puffinus, though of
that character; the nasal tubes lie on each side of the
culmen-ridge, but are more developed and horny, well
differentiated from the other lateral] bill-mass, and the
openings are much more vertical than in the genus
Puffinus. The nail is also very heavy, and thus strongly
characterises the bill when compared with Pu/finus.

There can be no doubt whatever that the affinity of
the genus Procellaria, accepting the present species as
typical, is with the genus Puffinus (sensu lat.).

PTERODROMA MACROPTERA GOULDI (Hutton).
A series of seven specimens from Mototiri Island
attracted attention as they all had grey faces, the char-
acter assigned to this race by Hutton.

PTERODROMA MOLLIS Gould.

It is worthy of record that “ mollis,’ as identified by
Reischek, is P. lessoni leucocephala Forster, two specimens
being in the collection, the data given bemg—

“3 May, 1885, Kaipara, North Island.
© February, 1888, Antipodes Island.”

Prionitic PETRELS.

Mathews, in the Birds of Australia, Vol. I., 1912,
attempted a scientific treatment of these birds, his

No. 1.] THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD 25

results being set forth in pp. 194-231. In view of my
note under “ Porphyrio albus (White) ” (ante), it is not
surprising, though very disappointing, to find his work
entirely ignored by the makers of the “ Official Checklist
of the Birds of Australia.”

HALOBaNA CHRULEA (Gmelin).

Mathews (l.c., p. 194) noted: “The general facies
recalls Pterodroma.” This usage of ‘“‘Pterodroma” was
to cover the species classed under “ #strelata” by
Godman following Salvin, but more correctly it should
be written: “The general facies recalls Cookilaria”’
This species is represented by one specimen in the
Reischek collection with the data “g Nov., 1882,
Hauturu Island, North New Zealand.” This bird was
placed next to a series of Cookilaria cooki Gray, and the
head and bill were so like those of that species that the
affinity of the genus may be with that in preference to
the Prions, which it closely resembles in the coloration
of the back and wings only.

Examination of the bills of nestlings may quickly
solve the question of the exact relationship, as the
nestling-prionitic bill is well differentiated from that
of the nestling Cookilaria.

PACHYPTILA VITTATA VITTATA (Gmelin).

inthe “birds ot pAustralia;, Vol) Ii. 119125. p. 199;
Mathews used Prion Lacepéde, restricting it to this
species. On the eve of publication of the first part of
our “‘ Reference List of the Birds of New Zealand ” (Ibis,
1913), I turned up a note I had made some three years
ago, questioning the availability of that genus-name.
Upon consultation, Mathews agreed and we rejected it
as indeterminable, a bare note being given stating this
fact, and using Pachyptila Illiger. I take the present
opportunity of detailing the facts that led to that
conclusion.

Lacepéde, in the Tableau Oiseaux, p. 14, 1799, diagnosed

26 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD _ [Vol. IL.

the genus Prion thus: “ Un ongle tenant leu du pouce
de chaque pied.” It was placed in his Vingt troisiéme
ordre—characterised only as having the “ bec dentelé,”’
and comprising Anas, Mergus, and Prion alone—and
contrasted with the Vingt deuxiéme ordre with the
‘“‘ Bec crochu,’’ which covered the genera Pheenicopterus,
Diomedea, Pelecanoides, and Procellaria. I think no one
will hesitate in agreeing that the diagnosis of Prion
here quoted, makes that name quite indeterminable, and
I would not consider that many of the generic names
quoted as Lacepede ex the Tableaux Oiseaux could be
determined by means of the diagnoses there given.
Mathews, in the Auk, 1913, pp. 92-5, has already indicated
the same conclusion arrived at in investigating the generic
name Ibis Lacepéde. He there showed, however, that
species were attached to these Lacepédean genera by
Daudin in an edition of Buffon, and consequently Ibis
was available from that reference which dates from
1802, or only three years later than the original
Lacepédean introduction. :

Now, in the case of Prion, a complication arises,
which completely alters the case. No species referable
to the genus occurs in Buffon’s Hist. Nat., and as a
consequence no species were allotted to the name by
Daudin. Furthermore, Daudin does not even mention
this name when reprinting Lacepéde’s Tableau-names.

Illiger, in his Prodromus, issued in 1811, mentions
most of the names proposed and utilised by Lacepéde
in his synonymy, but on p. 274 he introduced Pachyptila
for the species Procellaria ccrulea and vittata Gmelin,
and does not mention Prion in any way, apparently
quite ignorant of its position.

Tlliger’s name was consistently used until 1828, when
Lesson, in the Manuel d’Orn., Vol. Il., p. 399, used
“Prion Lacép.,’ quoting as a synonym “Pachyptila
Ill.,” and gave a good description of the genus, writing :
‘Le type de ce genre est le Petrel bleu, Procellaria cerulea
et vittata de Gmelin.”

Noa] THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD 27

This was taken up by Gray in 1840, but as far as I
can trace, the only ground for such acceptance is Lesson’s
usage, and Prion as a valid generic name must date
from 1828. Consequently it is antedated by Pachyptila
Illiger 1811, and Illiger’s name must be used.

Of this species Reischek collected a good series, which
showed no features of interest.

PSEUDOPRION TURTUR.

Under the name “P. turtur”’ was a most interesting
specimen labelled “3, Taranga I., North New Zealand,
April, 1883.” With it was another bird labelled 9 and
similar data, and it would have been interesting to know
if these came from the same colony.

The first mentioned is typically a Heteroprion, and
only subspecifically different from Mathews’s H. belcheri
(Birds Austr., Vol. II., p. 224, 1912). My measurements
read: Culmen (exp.) 26.5 mm. long, 9 mm. wide at
base; wing 184 mm; metatarsus 31 mm.; middle toe
without claw 31 mm.

In coloration it agreed with members of the H. desolatus
group in its dark head; small amount of black to tip of
tail, darker rump, and no blue wash on under-surface ;
while the one marked 9 was a _ typical Pseudoprion
turtur in bill-characters and in coloration, having the
head no darker than the uniformly pale back and rump,
a large amount of black tipping to the tail, and a notice-
able blue wash on sides of body. The bill of the Hetero-
prion was adult in colour, and much longer and also
narrower than that of immature specimens of H. desolatus
which were at hand for comparison.

Reischek also collected specimens of Pseudoprion
turtur on the Bounty Islands, and these were immediately
recognisable on account of their extraordinary bills,
and absolutely typical of the form Mathews has named
Pseudoprion turtur crassirostris (Birds Austr., Vol. IL.,
p- 221, 1912).

28 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD _ [Vol. II.

PELECANOIDES URINATRIX (Gmelin).

Jn the preceding note under Pachyptila vittata vittata -
I have given the reasons why Mathews and I have
rejected Prion Lacepéde as indeterminable. As in the
same place we retained Pelecanoides Lacepéde, a further
explanation seems necessary.

As there noted, the Lacepédean generic names in the
Tableaux Oiseaux are accompanied by brief diagnoses
only; in the case of Pelecanoides the generic name is
placed between Diomedea and Procellaria, and the
definition reads: “Une poche sous la gorge; chaque
pied ne presentant que trois doigts.”

We decided that, as this description can be applied
to no other bird, the name can still be employed.

It may be as well to record, however, that the two
authors noticed under Pachyptila vittata as dealing with
“P. vittata et cerulea Gm.,” viz. Llliger and Lesson,
both regarded Lacepéde’s name, Pelecanoides, as indeter-
minate, and each suggested a new generic name for the
group, Illiger (p. 274) proposing Haladroma for Peleca-
noides Lacepéde ?, and Lesson (p. 392) introducing Puffi-
nuria for Pelecanoides Lacepéde and Haladroma Illiger,
explaining: ‘‘Ce qui nous a porté a changer le nom
genérique de la seule espéce connue qui sert de type
a ce genre est lincertitude ou nous sommes que ce sort
réellement le genre pelecanoides de M. Lacépéde, ou
haladroma d’Illiger.”’

Lesson’s doubt was justified as he was handling a
different bird from Lacepéde and Illger, as Mathews
has shown (Birds Austr., Vol. IL., p. 232, 1912).

In the same place (p. 238) Mathews concluded that
the specimens from New Zealand represented more than
one subspecies, but the specimens available did not
permit their definition, and in the Ibis (1913, p. 238),
he and I again noted this fact.

In the Reischek collection there are specimens from
the North Island and from the Snares, and these bore
different names, in Reischek’s handwriting, as they were

No.1.] THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD 29

so different, the former being called P. urinatrix, the
latter P. exsul.

It should be again noted that Buller, in the Supplement,
Vol. I., p. 127, used P. ewsul for the larger form from
Stephens Island and the Island of Karewa, while he
considered the smaller form to be P. urinatrix, writing :
“Tt occurs on the coasts of both Islands, and also at the
Chatham Islands and on the Snares.” The _ type-
locality however of P. urinatrix is Queen Charlotte
Sound. which is quite close to Stephens Island.

DIOMEDEA EXULANS Reischek.

Reischek visited the Subantarctic Islands of New
Zealand for the purpose of studying the plumage-changes
of the Albatros, commonly known as Diomedea exulans.
He contributed a paper to the Transactions of the New
Zealand Institute (Vol. XXI.), covering the results of
his research. Having just recently carefully worked
through this group in conjunction with Mr. Mathews,
in the preparation of our ‘‘ Reference List of the Birds of
New Zealand,’ I was fairly conversant with the dis-
tinguishing characters of the species. The short time
at my disposal prohibited as exhaustive an examination
as I would have liked, but it is as well to record
that MReischek’s observations on the plumages are
comparatively valueless. The specimens collected by
Reischek, covering his notes above quoted, are retained
in Vienna with his remarks as to age upon the back of
the labels.

These specimens include skins of D. exulans rothschildi
Mathews, and D. epomophora Lesson, both the Campbell
Island and Auckland Islands breeding forms of the latter
being represented. This latter point is important.
Specimens from the Auckland Islands agree in every
detail with the distinctive features given by Mathews
(Birds Austr., Vol. II., p. 261, 1912) for his D. epomophora
mecormicki. These were labelled ‘“D. exulans, 4th year,”
while D. e. epomophora Lesson from Campbell Island

30 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD [Vol. II

were labelled “D. exulans, 5th year,’ and exceptionally
fine D. exulans rothschildi Mathews, though freely vermi-
culated on the upper-back, were also considered “ 5th
year.”

PROCELSTERNA CHRULEA CINEREA (Gould).

An unrecorded occurrence for the mainland of New
Zealand (the second) would be the bird with the data:
“Anous cinereus, May, 1883, ¢, Waipu, North New
Zealand.”

ANOUS STOLIDUS (Linné).

Through a misreading, Buller included this species
in the Supplement, Vol. I., p. 162. In the Emu, Vol. X.,
1910, p. 10, I pointed this out, and in the Reference
List we noted this while rejecting it.

In the Reischek collection is mcluded a skin labelled
“Sterna — 1885 ¢ Ostk. Nord New Zealand.” This is
a rough skin which has been pulled off by some one
and procured afterwards by Reischek, who has not
re-prepared it.

There seems to be no reason to doubt this record,
and consequently Anouws stolidus (Linné) can be admitted
as having once occurred in New Zealand. The specimen
is in immature-plumage, so that I could not decide.
whether it was referable to A. stolidus gilberti Mathews
(Birds Austr., Vol. II., p. 405, 1912) or to A. s. wnicolor
Nordmann.

collection contains two birds labelled: “III. 1883.

C@NOCORYPHA AUCKLANDIOA (Gray).

In our “ Reference List of the Birds of New Zealand ”
(Ibis, 1913, p. 261), Mathews and I used the genus-name
Ceenocorypha for the New Zealand “ Snipes,” and admit-
ted four subspecies, accepting Rothschild’s tristrami

No. 1.] THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD 31

from the Antipodes Island as recognizable, though it
had been lapsed by its author.

In the Reischek collection, specimens were contained
from the Auckland Islands and from Antipodes Island,
and the latter were at sight different in their darker
coloration, both above and below. In this respect
they agree with specimens from Antipodes Island in the
British Museum, received since the Catalogue of the
Birds of the British Museum was written. The Snares
Island subspecies, huegeli Tristram, is also dark-coloured,
but it appears to be larger than the Antipodes Island
birds.

In this note I would draw attention to the misleading
results of genus-lumping. Classed by most writers in
Gallinago, it puzzled most thinking students to account
for the occurrence of a species of Gallinago, isolated on
the southernmost rocks off New Zealand and absent
from the main islands. The only species of Gallinago
known at that time from Australia, was only a migrant
to that continent.

Seebohm grasped the truth when he called the New
Zealand birds semi-Woodcocks, but by his usage of wide
genera he hid away the lessons to be learnt from this
classification. ;

Examination of the New Zealand birds showed that
their reference to Gallinago was not only unscientific,
but was absolutely wrong. The bill, general form, and
legs and feet were undoubtedly those of the Woodcock
and not those of the Snipe. The only course open was
the usage of the genus Cenocorypha, and as a vernacular,
semi-Woodcock should certainly be utilised in preference
to Snipe.

In South America, however, occurs a bird which can
best be described as a magnified Cenocorypha—in struc-
ture and coloration accurately agreeing, but immensely
superior in size. This species—also quite wrongly classed
by Sharpe in Gallinago, and also quite correctly named
by Seebohm, semi-Woodcock—occurs in the southernmost

THE AUS

a * parts of South America. When it is made known that
“a stricklandi Bonaparte is also not a Gallinago but a
| semi-Woodcock, and is only a large edition of Canocorypha,
much of the puzzle reveals itself. Every student of
the ‘Snipes’ must agree with Seebohm that their
style of coloration is of ancient lineage, and the extra-
ordinary resemblance between “G. strickland: ” Bonaparte
of the Straits of Magellan, and Cenocorypha aucklandica

Zealand and the Chathams, cannot be explained away
by coincidence or convergence. The acceptance of
their very close relationship accounts for the restriction
of Canocorypha to the above-noted islands, and the

sible for the depauperation of the genus.

PHAOPUS PHHOPUS VARIEGATUS (Scopoli).

In the Reference List (l.c., p. 257) two occurrences
for the mainland of New Zealand only are included.
Reischek’s collection adds a third, as there is a bird
labelled: “New Brighton, South New Zealand g June

- 1879.” ee,

I wish here to acknowledge my great indebtedness
to Dr. Sassi, who placed himself at my disposal while
I was at the Museum and thereby made possible, by
his invaluable aid, the accumulation of these notes.

NOTES ON BILLBERG’S SYNOPSIS FAUNA
SCANDINAVIAL.

By Gregory M. Marsews and Tom IREDALE.

In a recent article on Hgatheus Billberg, one of us
(Mathews, Auk, Vol. XXX., pp. 92-94, 1913) accepted
Richmond’s correction of his usage of that genus-name,
as no opportunity of personally examining Billbere’s
work had previously occurred.
As, since that note was written, the only known copy
in the British Isles—one in Newton’s library preserved
at Cambridge University—has been, through the courtesy
of the University to whom our best thanks are due,
made available to us, we have concluded that a criticism
and excerpts would be welcomed by many interested.
Firstly, Lonnberg (Journ. fiir Ornith. 1906, pp. 531-
533) has contributed a note concerning this work.
Secondly, Richmond has examined the same copy
as we have before us and has recorded all the new a.
names in his invaluable list of ‘‘ Generic Names Applied 4

to Birds; : .. /7? (Proce. W.82- Nat... Mus.) Vol ae xexexayes
pp. 583-655, 1908).

It might thus appear that the following notes would
be superfluous, but inasmuch as we did not feel that
everything had been explained in the places noted,
and as we know others have been in the same predica-
ment, we offer them without further apology.

We find the book to be a small duodecimo, the
title-page reading: “Synopsis/Faune Scandinavie/
Tom I, pars 2. Aves. Holmiae, 1828.” The Author’s
name is not given, the probable reason being that this
is | pars 22:7

No preface or introduction is given, and 208 pages
follow. At the end there are three tables which have
at the foot —‘‘ A. ante pag. 1. B. ante pag.1. C.
ante pag. 1.”

We propose to deal with these tables before commenting
on the 208 pages of text.

Table A is headed: ‘“ Conspectus Classis Avium
universalis, secundum,” and is the most important
to extra-Palearctic workers.

An entirely novel classification appears to be provided
in this table, the class Aves being divided into three
Subclasses, these being further subdivided into Ordines,
Tribus, Nationes, and Genera. The systematic manner
in which these divisions are named is somewhat remark-
able, the subclasses all ending in —ornithes, the Orders
in —pode, the tribes in —rhamphe, and the families
in —ides. This shows that Billberg’s work was metho-
ical, and it is carefully done.

The three Subclasses are named Geornithes, Actior-
nithes and, Hydrornithes. The first named is divided
into three Orders: Tvrechopode, Hlazopode, and
Anecopode: the second also into three Orders Thas-
sopode, Neopode, and Pteropode: the last again into
three Orders—Pygopode, Jsorrhopode, and Holopode.
To each of these a diagnostic sentence is added: this
is worth notig as it shows that Billberg was a

Nos. 2 & 3.] THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD 35

systematist of no mean calibre. His classification shows
many anomalies, but mostly those accepted at the time
he was working.

Billberg’s table is arranged so that the eye can easily
grasp the details in the following manner :—

Subclass. Order. Tribe.
T rechopodce
Apsirhamphe.
F Hlazopode od Conorhamphe.
‘Geornithes Ancylorhamphe.
Gyrorhamphe.
Anecopode ... Pogonorhamphe:
Madorhamphe.

S

The Order T'rechopode is not divided into tribes, and
only into two families, Struthionides and Otidides.

The tribe Apsirhamphe covers four families, Tetra-
onides, Didides, Numidcides, and Gallides.

The tribe Conorhamphe, on account of its extent,
is again subdivided into three ‘“ Legiones,’ and one
of the ‘“‘ Legiones’”’ into four cohorts. The first Legio,
Asyndactyle, contains two families, Apterygides and
Columbeides ; the second Legio, Tsyndactyle, contains
eleven families, distributed in four cohorts: cohort
Integrirostres, with families Corvides, Sturnides, Fringil-
leides, and Alaudaeides ; cohort Emarginatirostres, with
families Motacilleides, Laniides, Turdides, and Ampeli-
dides; cohort Fissirostres, with family Hirundinides,
and cohort Tenuirostres, with families Certhiwides and
Trochilides. The third Legio, Holosyndactyle, contains
two families, Meropides and Prionitides.

The tribe Ancylorhamphe covers the two families
Accipitrides and Strigides.

Two families, Psittacides and Hurhynchides, constitute
the tribe Gyrorhamphe, while the two families Bucconides
and Trogonides compose the tribe Pogonorhamphe ;
four families, Musovoreides, Rhamphastides, Cuculides,
and Picides, make up the tribe Madorhamphe.

and Ardecides.

Two families, Phanicopterides and Cereopsides—a
rather peculiar combination—constitute the tribe Pachy-
rhamphe, while the tribe Leurorhamphe includes the
two families Platyrhamphides and Platalecides.

The Order Pteropode contains two families, Fuliceides
and Podocepitides.

In the Order Pygopode three families are recognised,
Colymbides, Alccides, and Aptenodytides.

The tribe Liorhamphe is divided into two families,
Procellarieides and Larides, while the tribe Hlasmo-
rhamphe is co-equal with the family Anatzdes, as is the
tribe Prionorhamphe with the family Mergides.

The Order Holopode comprises the two families
Pelecanides and Phaetonides.

The division into genera is here reprinted exactly

A second table follows headed ‘“‘ Conspectus Classis.
Avium Scandinavie secundum,’ and at the foot is.
placed “ B. ante pag. 1.” This agrees with the preceding
but differing in that it deals with the Birds of Scandinavia
only. A third table is headed ‘“‘ Conspectus Generum.
subclassis Geornithium (Landfoglar),’ and also at the
foot appears ““C. ante pag. i.”

There is nothing new in these two tables, save that
the names of the first three Orders is given as T'rechopodes,
Elazopodes, and A necopodes, while all the others end.
regularly in —podee. The same spelling as here noted
occurs in the body of the work In the second table
and in the text (p. 177), Podicepitides (not Podocepitides)
is correctly given.

A perusal of the list of genera given will show that
with a few exceptions all the names proposed are:

Nos. 2 & 3.| THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD 43:

substitute-names for previously defined groups A large
number are simply classical emendations or substitutions
and the majority of these fall as absolute synonyms ;
one of the dangers of such names however is that they
sometimes invalidate later well-known and commonly
utilised names. Such was the case with some of these
Billbergian names, as Richmond pointed out. The
names naturally fall in three groups: those which are
absolutely synonyms, those which are indeterminable,
and those which are valid. A large number occurring
in the table apparently belong to the second list, but
through their usage in the text become distributed
in the other two.

Richmond has given full notes regarding nearly all
these, so that it would be superfluous to re-state his
arguments. )

The absolute synonyms are: Gauria, Cractes, Cometes,
Ichla, Hydrichla, Anecorhamphus, Agreutes, Ablas, Carpo-
phaga, Pogonornis, Musovora, Auga, Crocethia, Nea,
Egatheus, Geopega, Rhipornis, and Chelido.

These however are validly proposed and might pre-
occupy later valid names, as Carpophaga and Pogo-
nornis do. They would also be available in case the
name for which they are proposed be shown to be invalid
in itself, and under this category come some of Billberg’s
valid names.

As indeterminable must be classed Thrasys, Chelarga,
Satyra, Corydus, Pseudocorys, Philydra, Capya, Abuceros,
Eurhynchus, Craugus, and Culeus.

Richmond has given full explanatory notes and
suggestions regarding these names which, as regards
systematic work, simply rank. as nomina nuda.

A strange introduction which, must be classed as
indeterminable is that of Planorhamphus for ‘‘Burrhinus
Ill.?” Probably Billberg meant his name as a classical
emendation of Illiger’s Burrhinus, and placed the query
to denote that he could not classify the genus accurately.
In this connexion should be noted Obdicpriemus Cuvier,

dt THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD [Vol. II.

which Billberg classed in the Otidides. It is not
included in Richmond’s list, though it might have been
on account of the strange spelling, though only as a
nomen nudum. A pencilled note (probably by Richmond)
suggests that it is a misprint for Hdicnemus.

Another interesting nomen nudum not mentioned by
Richmond, is the genus Peristera, ex Aristoteles, in the
family Columbeides. This is earlier than Selby’s intro-
duction which has comparatively recently been shown to
be anticipated by Peristera Rafinesque for a mollusc.

Ortyx, ex Xenocrates, is preferred to Ortygis Illiger,
but that name had been previously used by Oken, so
it is doubly invalid.

Classical emendations which vary little from the
original names, but which nevertheless should be care-
fully noted, are Penelophe, Urax, Craxa, Trynga, Poly-
plectrus, Neomenius, and Psopha.

A few names were introduced for definite species
or groups, with vernaculars only known to Billberg.
Such are Ancistroa for Columba curvirostra Gmelin,
Aegyps for Temia Vaillant, Aigithalus for Les Moustaches
Cuv., Struthus for Les Remiz Cuv., and Conopoderas
for Turdus longirostris Gmel. The last named is avail-
able, antedating Tatare Lesson; Struthus would have
been, but it is preoccupied: the others are invalid on
account of earlier proposals. Bremus for Argus Temm.
is preoccupied, otherwise it would come into use through
the fact that Argus Temm. is also preoccupied.

Two names are now commonly in use: Nannus,
proposed for “ T'roglodytes Cuv.,” as it has been shown
that Cuvier’s genus is not the same as the one named
earlier by Vieillot ; 7'yto for Strix Savigny is also accepted,
as Savigny’s restriction of Strix was unavailable owing
to the fact that the species selected by Savigny was
not one of the Linnean species of Strix.

When the text of Billberg’s book is consulted, we find
that his work was most carefully done, as there (p. 116)
Billberg uses Strix flammea for the Short-eared Owl, and

Nos.2 & 3.| THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD 45.

gives a long explanatory note, proving that Linné based
his Strix flammea on the Rudbeck picture, which is
undoubtedly that of this species. The Strix flammea of
authorities, he shows to be unknown in Sweden. It is
very unfortunate that Billberg’s remarks should have
been overlooked, as now—eighty odd years afterwards—
the same, and only, conclusion is arrived at, and many
ornithologists still wish to quibble over the consequences.
_ In consequence of this knowledge of the invalidity
of the usage of Strix Linné for the Barn-Owl, Billberg
proposed Jyto for that group. It has been claimed.
that Tyto is preoccupied by Tyta, also proposed earlier
by Billberg. In this connexion it might be observed
that Heine (Nomencl. Mus. Hein., Ornith., p. 252, 1890)
proposed J'yto to replace Myotha, “‘ on grounds of purism.”’
The meaning of “tyto’’ (fide Richmond, Proc. U.S. Nat.
Mus., Vol. XXIV., p. 720, 1902, when recording this
name) is given as “‘the night-owl,” while another
authority cites as the meaning of “ tyta,” “ night-flying,”’
apparently two different words.

The other names proposed in the Tables are indeter-
minable until the text of the work is consulted : Pseudotaon.
is used on p. 4 for sylvestris alone, without explanation.

Vieillot (Nouv. Dict. d’Hist. Nat., Vol. IX., p. 447,
1817) named the Wild Turkey, Meleagris silvestris ; and
we note that the type-locality is not given in the American
Ornithological Union’s Checklist, 3rd ed., p. 145, 1910.
There was some discussion regarding this name, and as
we have the book before us we quote Vieillot’s localities :
*“On trouve les dindons sauvages depuis le pays des
Illinois jusqu’a Visthme de Panama. Ils étoient autrefois
communs dans le Canada, et au centre des Etats-Unis.”’

Spermologa is given on p. 28 (Spermolega is written in
the Tables), and four species attached—lulensis, spinus,
carduelis, and linaria. We designate the first named,
S. lulensis, as type, and as this is a synonym of
F. montifringilla Linné, Spermologa disappears into
synonymy.

46 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD [Vol. II.

Cannabia, on p. 31, with the two species, C. propria
(=f. cannabina Linné) and flavirostris, is an absolute
synonym of Acanthis Borkhausen.

On p. 49 Motacilla thunbergi is described, and this
name is now commonly accepted.

In the Tables are given Phyllopseusta Meyer and
khadina B. (Phyllopseusta Mey.). This is a most inter-
esting introduction, which seems to have escaped
Richmond’s observation. In the text we find, on p. 53,
Phyllopseusta used for hippolais Linné alone, and, p. 54,
. Rhadina for sibilatrix Bechst., acredula L. (=trochilus L.)
and rufa Latham.

Phyllopseuste was introduced by Meyer (Beschr.
Liv. and Esthl., p. 122, 1815) as a group-name, and has
been rejected (we agree correctly) as not being generically
or subgenerically proposed. For the first four species
of Meyer’s group—which included the species S. hippolais
Linn., sybilatrix Bechst., fites Bechst., rufa Lath., and
regulus Lath.—two genera are commonly accepted :
“ Hypolais Kaup 1829, and Phylloscopus Boie 1826.”

In the Isis 1828, p. 1283, Brehm utilized Hippolais
and Phyllopneuste Meyer for these two groups, but at
this place these are nomina nuda.

Hypolais introduced by Kaup in 1829, is later than
Billberg’s Phyllopseusta, and as no author appears to
have anticipated Billberg in fixing Phyllopseusta, this
genus-name will displace Hypolais Kaup. Billberg’s
Rhadina becomes, of course, a synonym of the earlier
Phylloscopus Boie 1826.

In connexion with this, it is interesting to note that
in the Cat. Gen. Subgen. Birds, p. 34, 1855, Gray used
Phyllopneuste as of Meyer 1822, for the “S. hippolais
Linné”’ group, and in the Handlist Gen. Spec. Birds
(pt. 1., p. 215, 1869) he utilized Phyllopseuste Meyer 1815,
for the same group.

It would now appear necessary to revert to Phyllopseusta
Billberg 1828, type (by monotypy) S. hippolais Linné
for this group.

Nos. 2 & 3.| THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD 47

Titiza, introduced in the Tables for ‘‘ Calamodyte
Meyer,” has (p. 58) two species allotted to it : Schenobeno
Linné and _ lightfooti Billberg (= Motacilla arundinacea
Lightfoot, not Turdus arundinaceus Linné). This genus-
name falls as a synonym of Acrocephalus Naumann 1811
(sensu lat.).

Pheca appears in the Tables for “Ficedula’”’ Bechst.
We have not traced where Bechstein used this genus-
name as here utilized, though we note that Cuvier
(Régne Anim., Vol. I., p. 364, 1816) gives the same
group under the name “Les ruliettes,’ citing as an
equivalent, ““Ficedula Bechst.” The species Billberg
includes in the text (p. 64) are rubecula, suecica, phoeenicura,
and nilssoni Billberg (= tetys Auct.). This cannot be
considered the same group as Ficedula Schaeffer (ex
Brisson), of which the type is Motacilla atricapilla Linné.
We designate as type of Pheca Billberg, P. rubecula
Linné; and thus Pheca passes into synonymy.

Pisobia is now accepted for the species minuta Leis].
and temmincki Leisl., which are the sole species included
on pp. 136, 137.

Carites (on p. 143 et seq.) includes fuscus, calidris,
stagnatilis, ochropus, glareola, and hypoleucus, and the
footnote quoted by Richmond shows that it was proposed
as a classical substitute for Totanus Auct., and must
fall as a synonym of that name. In the Table it is given
as a substitute for Limosa Briss., but as Actites B. is also
added as another synonym, we know that it could only
be partly so considered. Actites (on p. 153 et seq.)
covers the two species limosa and lapponica only, and
therefore becomes a synonym of Limosa; we designate
the first named as type, so that there can be no question
about this.

On p. 158, Recurvirostra atricapilla, a new name for
R. avocetia, seems a new combination.

On p. 161, Pelidna, which does not occur in Table A.,
is used for subarquata Gunn. ( = ferruginea Brunnich)
alone.

48 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD ~_ [Vol. Il.

In the Table, Oriygometra Briss. is included as a
substitute for Gallinula Temm. The facts are, however,
that Gallinula is a Brissonian genus, while Ortygometra
is not. In the text (p. 163 et seq.) the species included
are crex, porzana, and chloropus, the first named being
the type by tautonymy.

In the Table, Izobrychus is shown as a cubetioee for
Ardea Temm., but as Ardea is also given, it is at once
seen to constitute a division. On p. 166, the species
attached are minutus and stellaris. Stone designated
as type the first species, and thus displaced the familiar
Ardetta by this name. As the genus is co-equal with
the prior Botaurus Stephens, it would have been better
to have selected the second species and left the familiar
names unaltered.

Platyrhamphus is given in the Tables as a substitute
for “‘ Tringa Temm., and in the text we find the sole
species cited Numenius pusillus Bechstein. If Limicola
Koch be considered preoccupied by Limicula Vieillot,
this name becomes available.

On p. 186, Uria brissoni, nom. mut. for U. troile. and
p. 187, U. migra for U. grylle, need record.

In the Table, Cephus Pall. appears, but on p. 188,
Cephus nanus is the sole species, which is Alca alle Linné.
iy On p. 190, Alca balthica and brunnicht are new names

for A. torda.

In the Table, Halohippus and Zalochelidon are cited
as part of Procellaria ol. In the text (on p. 192) we
have Halohippus alone used for glacialis L., and Zalo-
chetidon alone for pelagica L. It is now admitted that
the type of Fulmarus Stephens is glacialis L., otherwise
the former has the prior claim over Rhantistes Kaup 1829.

We think we have touched upon the main features
of this work as concerns the systematic worker. The
one point worthy of note, is the better understanding
oe: the genus-name Phyllopseusta, and we hope to see
Billberg’s action recognized at once, and not neglected
—as has been his valuable note re Strix flammea Linné.

DATES OF PUBLICATION OF PLATES OF THE
“ORNITHOLOGY ... OF THE ‘ COQUILLE,’ ”

By Grecory M. MatHews.

AN important publication was that entitled ““ Voyage
autour du Monde, ... sur... la Coquille, pendant...
1822-25 ... Par L. J. Duperrey.”’

The Ornithology was written by Lesson and Garnot,
and many new species of birds were described. These
are all contained in the first volume of the Zoology.

For many years the date for these new species was
accepted as 1826, the year given on the title-page.

However, internal evidence clearly showed that this
was an impossible date, and Mr. C. Davies Sherborn
and Mr. B. B. Woodward, with indefatigable energy,
worked out accurately the dates and published them
in the Annals Mag. Nat. Hist., Ser. 7, Vol. VII., p. 391,
1901. Scientific ornithologists have not accorded Mr.
Sherborn the meed his careful and praiseworthy work
deserves, and quite commonly 1826 is still quoted.
Only those who have investigated dates can fully
' appreciate the dreary and weary detail-work involved
in so few lines, and few realize how absolutely necessary
at the present time such unthanked labour is. There
was always evidence that the plates were published
in advance of the text, and so a doubtful factor still
existed as to the correct date of the names. I herewith
dispel that doubt, and it is to be hoped full use will
be made of the facts here presented.

Mr. Sherborn has given me permission to make use
of his data, which is here reproduced.

Searching fares Ferussac’s Bull. Sci. Nat., I noticed
a review of a part, and carefully looking yopeneh the
preceding and succeeding numbers, discovered that the
whole of the parts were there noticed and that details
of the plates that appeared with each livraison of text
were given. I have therefore collated ae and give
them herewith.

In Vol. VIII., pp. 25-28, May, 1826, appears the
following notice: ‘‘ Voyage . . . Coquille ... Ordre de

livraisons: il en paraitra. une par mois. Chaque
livraison sera composée de 6 pl. in fol. et de plusieurs
feuilles de texte.”

On p. 337 of Vol. 1X., Nov., 1826, the notice reads :-—

‘““Nous nous empressons de signaler aujourd’hui la

In Vol. XI., p. 378, July, 1827, the second and third
livraison are reviewed, details of the plates being given
and a note added :—

““ Le texte est composé des feuilles 7 & 17: nous en ferons

By means of Sherborn’s dates we have the exact
month of publication of the livraison, and it will be at
once noted that all the plates of birds were issued in
advance of the text dealing with them. Consequently
as regards the “ Coquille’ publication, the plates have
clear priority. A few interesting points arise: it is
seen on reference to the plates that no authority is given,
the Latin name being followed by a ‘“‘ N” only, save in
the cases of Columba zoeae and Puffinuria g rnotii
where Lesson is named.

In the text some of the species are credited to Lesson,
others to Garnot; that the readers were ignorant of
the authorship is shown by the fact that in some of the
reviews in the Bull. Sci. Nat., signed by “ D,” many
species are credited to Lesson which were described by
Garnot when the text appeared.

This complication is often removed by the fact that
Lesson described a few of the species—sometimes a brief

54 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD [ Vol. II.

diagnosis, at others a detailed account—in the Bull.
Sci. Nat., sometime previous to the issue of the plates.
Some others were included in Lesson’s Manuel d’Ornith-
ologie, which appeared prior to the plates dealing with
them. In every case sufficient data is now available to
fix the exact date of every name commonly ascribed to
the Voy. la “‘ Coquille,” and exactly settle all matters
regarding priority. :

In the Table des Planches, published after the text to
the plates had been completed, the references to the
text being given, the names are sometimes different
from those that appear on the plates, and the authorities
are given. As example, Lanius karu N. of the plates
(No. 12) appears as Ceblepyris karu Lesson, and for
pl. 17 (Muscicapa pomarea Less.) the alternative
Muscicapa maupitiensis Garnot is added.

In no case however does the specific-name differ,
though I see that in the Bull. Sci. Nat. Ferussac, Vol. X.,
p- 291, 1827, Lesson and Garnot described Corvus tristis
(Atlas Zool., pl. 24). The plate appeared with the
name Corvus senex, and this name is used in the text
of the ‘“ Coquille.” In the Cat. Birds Brit. Mus., this
Species appears as a monotypic generic form, under
the name Gymnocorax senex. I do not see that Corvus
iristus is preoccupied, so that the species-name should
be iristis. It is also necessary to revert to the genus
Gymnocorvus, as Gymnocorax is simply a classical emen-
_ dation. The species should therefore be known as
Gymnocorvus tristis.

NEW GENERIC NAMES, WITH SOME
NOTES ON OTHERS.

By Grecory M. MatHews.

The Numbers on the left are those of my ‘‘ Reference List”
of 1912.

318. PARASULA, gen. nov.

* Differs from Sula Brisson in its much larger size
and different number of tail-feathers; from Morus
Vieillot in the different number of tail-feathers.

Type, Sula dactylatra bedouti Mathews.

320. HZEMISULA, gen. nov.

Differs from Sula Brisson in the number of tail-
feathers and its proportionately shorter tail.
Type, Sula leucogaster rogersi Mathews.

Notr.—All the Gannets have been lately, and without
much reason, included in the genus Sula. The differences
in size, coloration, structural proportions, and number
of tail-feathers have all been ignored in favour of the
view that, as the birds bore a family resemblance, they
must be referred to one genus. If genera with any
pretence to affinity be recognized, then Sula must be
subdivided. The nomenclatural problems are too com-
plex to be detailed here, but will be fully discussed in
my Birds of Australia. The species Pelecanus bassanus
Linné and Sula dactylatra Lesson (cyanops Auct.) agree
somewhat in size and coloration, but the former has
twelve tail-feathers: the latter eighteen. The species
Pelecanus piscator Linné and Pelecanus leucogaster
Boddaert agree somewhat in size, but the former has
sixteen tail-feathers, the latter fourteen: the last-named
disagrees entirely in coloration from the other three.
In structural proportions these all differ notably. It
must be admitted by every reasoning ornithologist,
that the difference between twelve and eighteen tail-
feathers must be considered of generic import when it

56 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD _ [Vol. II.

is realized that the former occurs in the North Atlantic
and in the South Pacific, where it lives side by side with
the latter. In the same manner the difference in colora-
tion between P. leucogaster Boddaert and the others
in itself would justify generic separation, when it is
remembered that all the other genera and species have
a uniform style of coloration which is quite different
and one which is practically unchanged in the same
species with a North Atlantic, South Atlantic, and South
Pacific distribution.

323. SCHOPHHTHON, gen. nov.

Differs from Phethon Linné in its longer wing, stronger
legs and feet, shorter tail, though as powerful in the
bill.

Type, Phethon rubricauda westralis Mathews.

325. LEPpTOPHETHON, gen nov.

Differs from Phethon Linné in its much smaller size
throughout, though having a comparatively longer tail.
Type, Phethon lepturus dorotheae Mathews.

Nort.—The Tropic Birds have been referred to the
one genus Phethon, though here again generic rank
is due to the differences observed. Phethon and
Sceophethon agree somwhat in size, but the latter has
discarded the plumage of the former, which is seen in
the juvenile, in favour of a uniform white one; it has
also developed in size. Leptophethon, on the other hand,
has also achieved the beautiful adult-plumage of
Sceophethon, but is sadly diminished in size. However
the evolution has proceeded, the birds are now sufficiently
distinct to warrant generic separation.

367. NOTOFALCO, gen. nov.

Differs from Rhynchodon Nitzsch in its much ae
wings, longer tail, and weaker feet.

Type, Falco subniger Gray.

No.2 & 3.] THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD 57

490. PSEPHOTELLUS, gen. nov.

Differs from Neonanodes Mathews in its much longer
differently-shaped tail.
Type, Platycercus pulcherrimus Gould.

528. MICROPODARGUS, gen. nov.

Differs from Podargus in its much smaller size through-
out and in a comparatively stronger bill,
Type, Podargus marmoratus Gould.

695. LEWINORNIS, gen. nov.

Differs from Pachycephala Vigors and Horsfield in
its weaker bill, shorter wing and tail, and weaker feet.
Type, Sylvia rufiventris Latham.

704. Muscirrea and HyLotTEeRPE.

In the Handlist of Birds both these genera occur,
but a footnote at the latter place notes that the monotype
of Muscitrea is synonymous with a species of Hyloterpe.
As an Australian bird was included in the latter genus,
investigation was necessary to settle which name was
to be used. I herewith give my results.

Muscitrea was introduced by Blyth (Journ. As. Soc.
Bengal, Vol. XVI., p. 121, Feb. 1847) for the new
Species cinerea alone. This is considered to be the same
Species as Blyth had previously described (same Journal,
Vol. XII., p. 180, 1843) under the name Tephrodornis
grisola. ‘The species would thus have to be known as
Muscitrea grisola (Blyth). 7. grisola Blyth has however
been placed in the genus Hyloterpe Cabanis. Some
recent systematists, myself included, have placed this
species in Pachycephala, but there is no excuse for such
location. Hyloterpe is accepted as of Cabanis 1847.
It appeared in Wiegman’s Arch. fiir Nat. 1847, p. 321,
but priority is easily dispensed with as Cabaais’s article
is dated ‘ Berlin im November, 1847.” However, at
that place it is doubly a nomen nudum. Firstly, it is

58 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD _ [Vol. II.

proposed for ‘‘ Hylacharis Muller 1835,” and species
cited H. philomela Muller. In the Tijdschr. Nat. Ges.
Phys. Amster., Vol. II., p. 331, 1835, Muller does include
Hylocharis, but the species-name attached is “ luscinia ”’
and it is a nomen nudum, and there is no indication that
it is a new generic introduction, but probably simply a
misuse of Hylocharis Boie. The earliest legitimate
introduction of Hylocharis seems to be that of Bonaparte
who, in the Consp. Gen. Av., Vol. I., p. 329, 1850, uses
it as of Cabanis 1847, and catalogues two species :
H. philomela Boie (= id., Temm., Mus. Berol = id.
Cabanis) and H. orpheus Verreaux (Pachycephala orpheus
Jard., Contr. Orn. 1849, Vol. VII., cum. fig.). The former
is still a nomen nudum, and therefore the latter becomes
type by monotypy.

The conclusion would read—

Muscitrea Blyth 1847
would replace—

Hylocharis Bonaparte 1850.

The type of the former would be, by monotypy—

M. cinerea Blyth 1847 = Tephrodornis grisola Blyth ;
and of the latter by monotypy—

Pachycephala orpheus Jardine.

In investigating the preceding, I noted the following
preoccupied names, and as I consider the genera valid,
herewith propose substitutes—

Platygnathus Hartlaub, in Wiegman’s Arch. fir Nat.
1852, p. 132, is untenable on account of its prior usage
by Dejean (Catal. Col., 2nd ed., 1834), Laporte (in Brulle
H.N., Anim. artic., Vol. Il., p. 404, 1840), and Agassiz
(Poiss. F.V.G.R., p. 60, 1844).

I would substitute—

Supmyiacra, with P. vanicorensis Quoy et Gaimard,
Voy. “lV Astrol.,” 1830, as type.

Microlestes Meyer, Zeitschr. ges. Ornith., Vol. I., p. 197,
1884, cannot be used on account of the prior introduction
of the name by Schmidt-Goebel (Helfer’s Samml., Vol. 1,
p. 41, 1846), Pleininger (in Wurtt. Jahr. Ber. 1847), and
Brown (Index Pal., p. 725, 1848). -

I therefore introduce ARFaKoRNIS with Muicrolestes
arfakianus Meyer as type.

It is well known that the code of the American
Ornithologists’ Union differs from the International
Code, in that the latter would compel the usage of ‘ one
letterism ”’ in differentiating valid generic names, whereas
the former does not. With that quaint but well-known
American idea of progressivism, the American Ornitho-
logists’ Union have subscribed to the International
Commission’s Opinions while not observing the Code.
It would now appear they do not wish to accept that
Code, but hope to amend it to agree with their own:
during the interval they still adhere to their own Rules.
It is now quite speculative as to the result, but the
trend is in favour of the Americans. I profess to follow
the International Code in its entirety and am accepting
the Opinions as now rendered: these all suggest that
‘one letterism ” will be abolished...

ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS TO MY

By Grecory M. MatuEws.

A RECENT revision of my “ Reference List” has revealed
quite a number of overlooked names. Many of these
appear to be nomina nuda, but as I have traced some to
their original introduction, it seems best to put all on
record so that they can be kept in view, and perhaps
one by one eliminated, as possible disturbing factors
in the nomenclature of Australian birds.

PETROCHELIDON NIGRICANS NIGRICANS.

In the “ Reference List” “New South Wales ” was
selected as type-locality of Hirundo nigricans Vieillot,
the original description giving only “‘ Nouvelle-Hollande.”’
New South Wales was the type-locality of Hzirundo
pyrrhonota Vigors and Horsfield, and Collocalia arborea
Gould was also supposed to have been founded upon
birds from New South Wales.

Lesson, however, in L’Echo du Monde Savant, writing
with knowledge of the locality of Hirundo nigricans
Vieillot, definitely gives “ Hobart Town, Tasmania ” ;
while Stone (Austral Av. Rec., Vol. I, p. 154, 1913)
has informed us that the type of Collocalia arborea
Gould also came from Tasmania. This leaves the New
South Wales bird nameless as, though Vigors and
Horsfield certainly described Hirundo pyrrhonota from
that locality, their name is unavailable, being preoccupied
by Vieillot.

montrosiert Verreaux et Des Murs, Rev. Mag. de Zool.

bird. This leaves Gould’s leucopygus as the oldest
name in the group, and this consequently becomes the
Species-name.

Extra-limital species-name.

While compiling the preceding, I noted that for a New
Caledonian bird the name Hopsaltria flavigaster Verreaux
would appear to be in common use. In the Handlist,
Sharpe amended this to H. flaviventris for the sake of
purism only. I have examined the species and it seems
to be a true Hopsaliria, using that genus-name in its
most restricted sense. The type of Hopsaltria is Motacilla
australis White, which name is given priority over
Todus flavigaster Latham, though both appeared in the
same year. Latham afterwards named this bird Sylvia
flavigastra and also Muscicapa flavigastra, all inde-
pendently given. It is quite possible that Latham’s
name might come into use, but in any case Verreaux’s
name would appear to be untenable. I would therefore
propose that Hopsaltria flavigaster Verreaux (not Latham)
be re-named as—

Eopsaltria verreauxt, nom. nov.

Sharpe’s emendation, given for purist reasons only,
cannot be considered, as Latham’s name is open to the
same kind of emendation.

A NEW LIST OF THE BIRDS OF AUSTRALIA.

By Grecory M. MatHEws.

b)

THE preceding “ Additions and Corrections ’’ complete
those based on my “ Reference List’ published in the
Nov. Zool., Vol. XVIII., January, 1912. The whole of
those published in the Austral Avian Record since that
date, including the new genera published therein as well
as all the corrections made in my Birds of Australia,
have now been incorporated into a List of the Birds of
Australia, which will be published in a few weeks’ time.
This List will include all the synonyms I have yet traced,
and I also give generic synonyms so that easy reference
to all that has been done regarding Australian Ornithology
will be possible. It will include all the subspecies
hitherto named, grouped together under a binomial
Species-name: by this means the number of specific
forms admitted can be quickly observed, and in cases
where the typical subspecies is an extra-limital one,
that fact is noted and the original reference and type-
locality are given in brackets. As Appendices will be
given “Lists of Hypothetical Species” as regards
Australia, ‘‘ Indeterminable or Undetermined Species,” as
well as a “ List of the Birds of the Phillipian Sub-Region.”’

I hope this List will prove indispensable to every
working ornithologist, whatever his views may be,
and I am certain that diligent application will increase
the interest of every Australian worker in his favourite
study. The immensity of the work to be done in
connection with the Australian Avifauna, the wonderful
problems regarding distribution to be solved, the modes
of dispersal of the many subspecies, can only be fully
brought home to the diligent student of such a List,
as it was strongly so to myself while engaged in the
laborious task of compilation. The List will appear in
small 4to with very large margin for notes and corrections.
The nomenclature there utilized is that which will be
used in all my future writings.

NEW SPECIES AND SUBSPECIES OF
AUSTRALIAN BIRDS.

By Grecory M. MatTuews.
(The pages are those of my LIST OF THE BIRDS OF AUSTRALIA.)

p. 12. REGINOPUS, gen. nov.
Type, Ptilinopus ewingii Gould.

p. 111. FaLco HYPOLEUCUS ASHBYI.
Eastern Grey Falcon.

This new subspecies differs from F. h. hypoleucus
Gould in being darker above and light blue-grey on
the under-surface—not white; all the feathers have a
dark centre-line. The tail is barred.

Type, South Australia.

Gould figured the bird from West Australia beautifully
in his Birds of Australia. This plate he afterwards
cancelled, and later figured the birds collected by
Captain Sturt at the Depot, South Australia. Those
who, like myself, have the cancelled plate, can see the
difference by comparing the two. a

ON THE GENUS-NAME MATHEWSIA.
By Tom IREDALE.

Some three years ago I proposed the above genus name
for the group commonly called Antigone Reichenbach,
arguing that that name was preoccupied. I searched
the Nomenclators, and accepting the International
Rules and Recommendations, considered my name
unassailable, as no prior use was indicated.

Recently I have noted that a genus of Coleoptera
had been named Matthewsia by Saulcy (Catal. Coleop.,
Vol. IL., p. 745, 1868) and a Matthewsiwm (Flach, Verh.
Zool. bot. Wien, Vol. XX XIX., p. 494) also existed.

Though there can be no argument that these names
are different, having been introduced to honour different
workers, the differences are too slight for practical
purposes. ‘Therefore, abrogating the recommendation as
suggested by the American Ornithologists’ Union

82 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD [Vol. II.

throughout their Check-list and inserted in their Code,
I introduce
MaTHEWSENA

to replace my own Mathewsia and retain as type Ardea
rubicunda Perry.

A note by Prof. Brasil, and my reply, regarding this
name was printed in this Journal (Vol. L., pp. 122-3,
1912), and a quaint coincidence seems worth quoting. The
offending Antigona Schumacher was at that time con-
sidered a “‘useless”’ synonym; it has since, through
a series of complications, been revived, and it has
fallen to my lot to show that it can be validly utilised
as the only available name for a genus of mollusks. It is
open to authors now to consider whether the amendment
to Antigone proposed by Gray should be used, and if
this were to be accepted the invalidity of Reichenbach’s
introduction would be finally settled.

ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS TO MY
LIST OF THE BIRDS OF AUSTRALIA.

By G. M. Matuews.

As must be anticipated by every student, a few corrections
to the nomenclature utilised In my most recent List
still keep cropping up; this is a natural result of
progressive work: no additions or corrections would
indicate stagnation and lifelessness. Nevertheless these
are obviously becoming fewer, and the upheavals of
small account. A most unfortunate oversight has
caused the displacement of some familiar names, but
it is unlikely that such a case will occur again. I refer
to a paper by Pucheran entitled “ Mémoire sur les
types peu connus de Passereaux dentirostres de la
collection du Musée de Paris.” This was the last of a
series of articles dealing with the types of Cuvier,
Vieillot, and Lesson, and was published in the Archives
du Museum d’Histoire naturelle, Vol. VII., whereas
the others, which I had studied, appeared in the Revue
Mag. de Zool. Though this was a most important
paper to Australians, it was not utilised in the preparation
of the Catalogue of the Birds in the British Museum
by authors dealing with Australian birds, though those
working on South American groups made full use of it.*

Study of the ornithological articles in the Dictionnaire
des Sciences Naturelles (Levrault) has revealed half a
dozen overlooked synonyms and one unpleasant altera-
tion, while reference to works on Australian exploration
has enabled the recognition of type localities hitherto
unknown of some species.

p. 9. TURNIX MACULOSA MELANOTA.

In this Journal, Vol. IL. p. 133, 1913, Stone and I
gave details of the loss of the type specimen and

* Hellmayr has just published a memoir on the Birds of Timor
(Zool. von Timor Lief 1, 1914), and this paper seems to have escaped
his notice also, as he does not discuss the birds credited to Timor
in this account by Pucheran.

84 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD [Vol. IT. -

Gould’s memo. “that he had described it from Moreton
Bay, Queensland, noting that he had received specimens
since from the eastern and northern parts of Australia.”

Stokes (Discov. in Austr., Vol. II., p. 259, 1846) wrote :
“Mr. Bynoe (June 1841) was fortunate enough to
procure . . . one specimen of a bird of the same genus
as one of the Abrolhos, generally called a quail, but
with this difference, that it only lays four eggs, whereas
quails lay fourteen or fifteen. It is known to the
colonists as the Painted Quail; and has been called
by Mr. Gould, from the specimen we got on Booby
Island, Hemipodius melinatus.’ I have noted this
as Gould had described the bird three years before
Stokes’s specimen was killed.

p. xxv., Additions. Here I added the genus Globicera
and doubtfully indicated as an Australian bird, which
I had recognised from North Queensland.

Carpophaga* lepida Cassin. The bird I had was
certainly a subspecies of Globicera pacifica (Gmelin) and
I sent it to Philadelphia for comparison with Cassin’s
types there preserved. Mr. Stone returned it with the
comment that it was quite different from Cassin’s birds
which Salvadori had correctly placed under the species
Globicera rubicera Bonaparte, and that the locality had
never been doubted.

I therefore describe my Queensland bird as

GLOBICERA PACIFICA QUEENSLANDICA, subsp. nov.

Differs from G. p. pacifica in the darker grey of the
head' and hind neck, which is much more restricted ;
and the coloration of the under-parts being vinous,
obscured by bluish, this colour becoming more marked

* Though the genus name Carpophaga Selby, 1835, was shown to
be preoccupied by Carpophaga Billberg, 1828, six years ago (Richmond,
P.U.S. Nat. Mus., Vol. XXXV., p. 596, 1908), such accurate workers
as Hartert, Nov. Zool., Vol. XXI., 1914, p. 209, and Hellmayr, Zool.
Timor Avifauna, Vol. I., 1914, pp. 86, 87, still persist in its usage,
though no reason for such use can be profitably urged. It may be
that this incorrect use is simply due to carelessness, but I do not wish
to urge this view.

therefore with great pleasure that I noted the following
account in Stokes Discov. in Australia, Vol. IL., p. 263:
** Bold Point, Gulf of Carpentaria. The birds we had
not before seen were a large dark brown species of rail,
so wary that I could never get within shot of it.

p. 284. Disaster Inlet, Gulf of Carpentaria. The
rare large brown rail was frequently observed at low
water, running along the edge of the mangroves, too
wary, however, as before, to be shot.

p. 305. Near Flinders River, Gulf of Carpentaria.
In one of the reaches, I was fortunate enough to shoot
a specimen of the large wary brown-coloured rail I have
before mentioned. From this, the only one obtained,
it has been described as Hulabeornis castaneoventris.”

p- 58. PaGoA LESCHENAULTII
must replace
Pagoa geoffroyt.

The latter name has been preferred on the score of
priority, as Charadrius geoffroys Wagler, 1827, was
one year earlier than Charadrius leschenaultii Lesson,
1828. The tables are now turned, as I find that Lesson
“monographed the Plovers in the Dict. Sci. Nat.
(Levrault), Vol. XLII., published in 1826. Conse-
quently the earliest reference to Charadrius sanguineus
Lesson should read Dict. Sci. Nat. (Levrault), Vol. XLIT.,
p. 35, 1826: this name appears in the synonymy of
Cirrepidesmus m. mongolus in my List (p. 58); the
earliest reference to Charadrius taitensis Lesson should
read Dict. Sci. Nat. (Levrault), Vol. XLII., p. 35, 1826:
this name is a synonym of Pluvialis domincus fulvus of
my List (p. 57); while Charadrius marginatus Lesson
(a synonym of Leucopolius ruficapillus ruficapillus of
my List, p. 59) must also be quoted, Dict. Sci. Nat.
(Levrault), Vol. XLII, p. 25, 1826.

The prime reference in the present case reads—

Charadrius leschenaultii Lesson, Dict. Sci. Nat.
(Levrault), Vol. XLII:, p. 36, 1826. Pondicherry, India.

An extra limital correction would seem to be the
acceptance of Charadrius duvaucelit Lesson, Dict. Sci.
Nat. (Levrault), Vol. XLII, p. 38, 1826; Calcutta, in
place of the commonly preferred Charadrius ventralis

p. 60. ELsEyoRNIS, nom. nov.

88 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD [Vol. IL.

I introduced the latter name in the Birds of Australia,
Vol. IL, pp. 125, 135, 1913, for Charadrius melanops
Vieillot, but through an unfortunate oversight did not
recognise its invalidity by its prior use by Grandidier,
Revue de Zool., p. 232, 1867. The species name must
read Hlseyornis melanops, the two subspecies admitted
being EHlseyornis m. melanops and EH. m. russatus.

p. 81. Casmeroptius Gloger
must replace
Herodias Boie.
The reviewer in the Auk, Vol. XXXI., p. 410, July,
1914, has pointed out that prior to Gray’s designation
in 1855 of Ardea egretta as type of Herodias the same

No. 5.| THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD 89

author had in 1841 (List Genera Birds, 2nd Ed., p. 86)
selected A. garzetta as type and that the prior designation
must be accepted. This usage is, of course, consistent
with my oft-expressed principles and its abrogation was
entirely due to an oversight, and I thank the reviewer
in the Auk for drawing my attention to this matter.
The reviewer suggested as an alternative Leucophoyx
Sharpe, proposed in 1894, but I find a better substitute
in Casmerodius Gloger, Hand. u-Hilfsb., p. 412, 1842,
introduced half a century earlier. At the place quoted
Gloger independently provided this name for the White
Egrets, and mentioned as species A. egrelta and
A. garzetia. I find no type named until Salvadori
(Orn. Papua e Moluc., Vol. III., p. 349, 1882) selected
the former. I see no need for rejecting this determina-
tion and therefore here use Gloger’s name.

The species will therefore read—

Casmerodius albus and the subspecies Casmerodius
albus albus and C’. a. syrmatophorus.

p. 83. NyYcTICORAX CALEDONICUS HILLI
must replace
Nycticorax caledonicus australasic.

In working up the Ardeiformes for my Birds of
Australia I recognised that Vieillot, under the names
of Ardea novehollandie and Ardea australasic, had
confused the European and Australian Night-Herons
and that the description of the adult upon which the
names are based applied to the former, the immature
probably correctly being Australian birds. These names
are therefore invalid for use for the Australian sub-
species and the name selected is the only one available.

p. 85. IxoBRYCHUS MINUTUS QUEENSLANDICUS, subsp. n.

Differs from the type I. m. alisteri from Long Bay,

This species should be omitted from the Australian
List. It was added by North (Rec. Austr. Mus., Vol. III.,
p- 87, 1898).

During my recent visit to Sydney, New South Wales,
I saw the specimen upon which this record was based.
There was no collector’s label upon it, but simply one
added upon which is written: “Mr. Robert Grant
informs me his brother shot this bird about three years
ago at Lithgow, N.S.W.”

This shows how insecure the fact of the occurrence
is, but the inadvisability of recognising such was
impressed upon me after examining Grant’s collection,
as other incorrect labelling was obvious. Thus a
specimen of “‘ Pachycephala dubia Ramsay,” was labelled
“Cairns, Queensland’; Ramsay’s specimen was sup-
posed to have come from Cardwell, Queensland, but
it was afterwards shown to have been procured in New

No. 5.] THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD 91

Guinea. Apparently Grant’s specimen was labelled
to suit the supposed type locality.

I also saw an example of AMgialitis (Charadrius)
hivaticola Linné, which was supposed to be Australian
killed. Gould recorded this species as Australian, but
it was later proved to have been an erroneous locality
and no authentic occurrence of this bird is known.

The species name is MUSCITREA SIMPLEX: Omit all the

Nouv. Dict. d’Hist. Nat., Vol. XXI., p. 489, 1818, in
the synonymy of Hopsaltria australis australis, selecting
New South Wales as the type locality, the erroneous
locality Timor being given in the original description.

Pucheran (loc. cit., p. 356) had however determined
it as ““ Muscicapa gularis Quoy et Gaimard, Hopsaliria
gularis Gould.” This determination limits the type
locality to West Australia and the most probable place
whence it might have come is Shark’s Bay. Vieillot’s
name would therefore replace Gould’s, as I have noted in
this Journal, Vol. II., p. 75, 1913, that this is separable
subspecifically from Quoy and Gaimard’s form. The
alterations necessary would be—

Omit M. griseicapilla from the synonymy of
Eopsaliria australis australis.

pp. 187-188. There is some confusion in the genus
Myiagra through the description by Vieillot of Platy-
rhynchos ruficollis and P. cyanoleucus. The former I
synonymised with Yodus rubecula Latham, the latter
I had omitted as it was described from ‘Timor.
Berlepsch, however (Abhandl. Senckenb. Naturfor.
Gesellsch. Bd., XX XIV., 1911), dealing with the Birds
of the Aru Islands, on p. 66, used Myiagra ruficollis
Vieillot to replace M. latirostris Gould.

I now find that Pucheran (loc. cit., p. 360) had written
“Le type provient de Péron et Lesueur; il a été égale-
ment décrit par M. Swainson sous le nom de Myiagra
latirostris, et nous ne pensons pas que lespéce, que
M. Gould a dénommée de la méme facgon que M. Swainson,
en soit différente.”

There can therefore be little hesitation in accepting
Vieillot’s name, save the lack of a suitable type-locality.
Péron et Lesueur did not call at any place on the
Australian Continent where this bird now occurs.

Of P. cyanoleucus Pucheran wrote (loc. cit., p. 358) :
“Nos types sont encore jeunes. . . . Je les rattache a
Myiagra nitida Gould.” Pucheran’s identification seems
to have been ignored up to the present time.

P. ruficollis was described from Nouvelle Hollande,
but I see that Hellmayr includes it in his Birds of Timor
and accepts Timor as the type locality of Vieillot’s
species. This is a relieving decision, but he has accepted
Gould’s name for the Australian subspecies. Swainson’s
name was given to a bird from no locality and he quoted
the specimen in the Paris Museum. Pucheran’s note
implies that Swainson described the Paris bird, and
that consequently M. latirostris Swainson is an absolute
synonym of P. ruficollis Vieillot.

I am of opinion that this alteration must be made
as though Pucheran’s identification of Vieillot’s species
has not hitherto been utilised; it would appear that
the “ Timor” locality is wrong and that it came from
Australia and I have therefore selected New South
Wales as the type locality. Hellmayr does not mention
it in his Birds of Timor, so that it does not occur there ;
he makes no allusion to Vieillot’s name in any other
connection.

Meliphaga vittata Bonaparte should be transferred to

was also given to a bird brought back by Péron and

tates a rearrangement of the subspecific names, as I
arbitrarily selected Derby, North-west Australia, as a
suitable locality for Gould’s species. I now describe
the Roebuck Bay bird as—

EMBLEMA PICTA CLELANDI, subsp. n.

Remarks.—This beautiful Finch adds a genus and
species to the Australian List, and the distribution of
the species is so remarkable as to merit notice. First
described from the Caroline Islands, it next received a
name from Ternate, followed by its discovery at Lifu,
Loyalty Islands ; then it was found at the New Hebrides
and Solomon Archipelago; later it was received from
Ruk, Bismark Archipelago, and odd specimens have
been procured in British New Guinea, while now it is
known to live in North Queensland. All the subspecies
are difficult to separate, little differentiation having yet
taken place in spite of the diverse localities.

p. 239. In Appendix B, I included birds ascribed to
Australia not otherwise identified. Pucheran has noted
that some of these are Timor birds and therefore can
be eliminated from the Appendix :

Melithreptus flavicans Vieillot.
Turdus suert Vieillot.

Gnanthe gutturalis Vieillot.
Platyrhynchos rufiventris Vieillot.

Melithreptus flavicans Vieillot is recognised by Pucheran
as Meliphaga reticulata 'Temminck, over which name,
of course, it has priority. This is not recognised by
Hellmayr, as (loc. cit., p. 51) he uses Stegmatops reticulata
based on Meliphaga reticulata Temminck. Turdus suerii
(recte sweurzi) Vieillot is stated by Pucheran to have
come from Timor and is recognised as a juvenile Sylvia
leucophea Vieillot. The latter species Pucheran doubt-
fully identifies with Lalage timoriensis S. Muller. Neither

of. Nev. Mirek, KK. 1916, 102 (mre),

No. 5.| THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD 105

of these names are discussed by Hellmayr when he

made use of Muller's name for a subspecies of Lalage
nigra (Forster).

— Gnanthe gutturalis Vieillot, according to Pucheran,

might have come from Timor, but its identity was not

determined by him. Hellmayr does not mention it in

any connection.

Platyrhynchos rufiventris Vieillot was identified by
Pucheran, and as he gave a coloured figure it came into
use and is included by Hellmayr.

nanthe pyrrhonota Vieillot, Nouv. Dict., Vol. XXL,
p. 428, was described from “ Nouvelle Hollande.” It
was omitted by me from my Appendix, but Pucheran
stated it came from Timor and was a female of Motacilla
caprata Linné. Hellmayr, however, does not use this
name for the Timor bird, and as no discussion is given,
I do not know whether he doubts Pucheran’s determina-
tion. On p. 27 he uses Saxicola pyrrhonota Muller, 1843,
for a different bird, but that usage seems to be barred
by Vieillot’s name.

(nanthe melanoleuca Vieillot, Nouv. Dict. d’Hist.
Nat., Vol. XXI., p. 435, 1818: Timor was identified
by Pucheran as Certhionyx variegatus Lesson; but this
error was soon rectified and Hellmayr has used it as
the basis of his Oreicola melanoleuca.

Helimayr also on p. 41 has used Artamus perspicillatus
Bonaparte for a Timor Wood-Swallow. Foran Australian
species, Artamus cinereus Vicillot was commonly used
until I rejected it on account of its description from
Timor and my inability to separate from the descriptions
Vieillot’s and Bonaparte’s species. Hellmayr does not
discuss my action, so I can only conjecture that he has
overlooked this also.

On p. 80 Hellmayr has included as a Timor bird
Geoffroyus personatus personatus Shaw. He does not
include in his synonymy Psittacus geoffroyi Bechstein
which I have recently shown to be the correct name,
as Bechstein’s name was published in 1811, whereas
Shaw’s did not appear until 1812. It is unfortunate

~

oA

that an ornithologist of such repute as Hellmayr should

have allowed himself to do such slipshod work.

no skins of Australian shot specimens are extant :—

was not preserved.

of Sydney,” no skin is in existence. Mr. Robert
Etheridge assures me that it is not in the Sydney Museum

GHOPELIA SHORTRIDGEI Grant.
Bull. Brit. Orn. Club, Vol. X XIII., p. 73, 1909, Carnarvon.

THROWLEY Roan,
SuTTON, SURREY.
Aug. 31, 1914.

DEAR Mr. MatHews,—

When I was being driven by Mr. Vaughan Foss
between Carnarvon and Point Cloates (West Austr.) on
August 20, 1913, he, knowing my interest in ornithology,
asked me if I was aware of the fact that the two species
of Doves (viz., Geopelia tranquilla and Geopelia cuneata)
that occur commonly about Carnarvon, and are parti-
cularly numerous in the scrub near pools of water in
the bed of the Gascoyne River, inter-breed. I told
him that I was not aware of it, and if true, that it was
exceedingly interesting. He assured me that it was
true, according to his own observation, as he had an
aviary at his father’s house in Carnarvon (C. D.
V. Foss, Resident Magistrate), and he had frequently
had many specimens of both the above species kept
in his aviary at the same time, and that they inter-bred
freely. Also that as the birds became too numerous
in his aviary, he had sometimes liberated several of
the occupants, and occasionally some of them escaped.
This aviary was a short mile from the main bed of the
Gascoyne River. _

At the time of writing this, | have not my library
with me for reference, but I believe that in the Bull.
Brit. Ornith. Club, Vol. XXIII., p. 73, 1909, Mr. Ogilvie-
Grant described a new “ species” of Geopelia from a
single specimen obtained by Mr. Shortridge in the
Gascoyne River near Carnarvon, and that you expressed
the opinion that the bird in question was probably a
hybrid. It seems to me that you are correct in your

No. 5.] THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD 109

surmise. [I may mention that Mr. Foss told me this
voluntarily, in the course of conversation, and that
I had not previously spoken to him about Doves in any
way. I had intended writing to you earlier about it,
but on my return to Broome Hill in October last, from
my trip to the N.W. Cape, I was very busy shearing
and then handing over my station, then I heard that
you had made a trip to Australia, and have only just
returned, hence the delay in sending you this note.
I also learnt from Mr. V. Foss, and another gentleman
at Carnarvon, who made a speciality of a Finch aviary,
that Scarlet Finches with numerous spots of white occur
and breed in (Triodia) Spinifex country on the Minilya
River about 120 miles north of Carnarvon. Probably
a species of Neochmia.

Yours truly,
Tom Carter.
[It thus seems certain that Mr. Ogilvie-Grant de-

scribed as a new “species” a hybrid that had escaped
from captivity —G. M. M.]

NOTES ON SOME BIRDS FROM THE
KERMADEC ISLANDS.

By G. M. Mataews anp Tom IREDALE.

A COLLECTION of birds made at the Kermadec Islands
by Mr. King Bell was secured by Mr. W. R. B. Oliver,
and a selection was obtained by Mr. G. M. Mathews
when out in Australia. Mr. Oliver had recognised
the strangeness of a Petrel hitherto unknown from the
Group, and had concluded its relationship was with
Aistrelata rostrata (Peale). As it was quite impossible
to determine the form in New Zealand he courteously,
in the cause of ornithological science, allowed Mr.
Mathews to acquire this specimen. Examination shows
that it is a representative of quite a distinct species,
and we therefore diagnose it here as
AUSTRELATA OLIVERI, sp. 0.

This species is nearest to 4. parvirostris in general
appearance but of quite a different coloration above.
The coloration in that species is black with a brown
shade, while in the new species it is dark dull bluish-
black: the blue predominates, whereas in A. parvirostris
the black is the prevailing colour. In the latter the
under wing coloration is uniform, while 4. oliveri has
the inside wing lining composed of white feathers.
We do not know whether it breeds at the Kermadecs,
but there is quite such a possibility.

Habitat, Kermadec Islands.

Type in Coll. G. M. Mathews.

PROSTHEMADERA NOVAISEELANDIA) KERMADECENSIS,
subsp. n.

Differs from P. n. phebe Kemp, from the North
Island of New Zealand, in its larger size and absolutely
paler coloration throughout, the head being very pale
glossy green, the back pallid brown, the abdomen

114 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD _ [Vol. 1.

coloration much paler, the flanks noticeably lighter :
the edges of the secondaries have a metallic blue shine
not seen in the North Island bird. Wing 155 mm.

Habitat, Sunday Island, Kermadec Group.

Type in Coll. G. M. Mathews.

Remarks.—One of us (Iredale) wrote in the Trans.
New Zeal. Inst., Vol. XLV., 1912, p. 88, 1913: “ This
bird was abundant, but as no series was collected, I
do not know whether it was subspecifically separable
from mainland forms. As it had lost its voice, it seems
certain that it would be.”

HETEROSCELUS INCANUS INCANUS (Gmelin).

A specimen procured at Sunday Island, Kermadec
Group, makes an addition to that fauna, and it is one
of the rare New Zealand visitors as far as is yet known.
In our Reference List (Ibis, 1913, p. 259) only one
authentic record was cited.

PoORZANOIDEA PLUMBEA OLIVERI, subsp. n.

Differs from P. p. wmmaculata in having the back
purplish-brown and not so marked off from the -head,
and from P. p. plumbea in the absence of the long wing-
coverts.

Habitat, Sunday Island.

Type in Coll. G. M. Mathews.

Eggs.—Clutch 3: ground-colour stone, covered all
over with brown and lavender markings; 28-30 mm.
by 21.

The eggs of P. p.. immaculata are darker in their
markings ; 30 mm. by 22.

PLUMAGE CHANGES OF ELSHEYORNIS
MELANOPS.

The following is a description of a series of Hlseyornis
melanops (cf. Birds of Austr., Vol. III., p. 137, 1913) :—

Nestling in down.—Crown of head and entire back
fawn colour, dotted with black; a semi-circular black
line across the fore-part of the head from eye to eye,
a short line of black on the hinder crown, followed by
a semi-circular band of white, a line of black commencing
in front of the eye, enclosing the latter, continued and
widened out round the hind neck where it forms a ccllar;
another black band starting on the inner portion of the
wing, continued along the sides of the back, dividing
the fawn colour and enclosing the tail; outer portions
of the wings and entire under surface white. (January.)

Young.—Crown of head, back, scapulars, innermost
secondaries, and upper tail-coverts pale earth-brown
strongly tinted with rufous, with semi-circular dark bars
to the feathers which gives a scalloped appearance to
the back, the feathers on the head have dark central
spots ; lesser, upper and some of the inner median wing-
coverts blackish, edged with rufous and spotted with
black, others are white on the inner web; greater series
for the most part white with a small amount of earth-
brown near the base; bastard wing, primary-coverts
and quills black, secondaries edged with white at the
tips, some of the inner ones almost entirely white ;
lower back and upper tail-coverts have the downy
texture of the nestling, which is fawn colour dotted
with black; tail-feathers bronzy-brown tipped with
rufous; a broad band from behind the eye encircling
the hind neck black, a crescentric patch of white on the
nape; entire under surface white, except a few dark
feathers on the chest, which is the first indication of
the black band; the small coverts on the outer edge
of the under wing black, margined with white.

116 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD [Vol. IL.

Immature-—Head, back and scapulars earth-brown,
with slightly paler edges to the feathers, the scapulars
somewhat tinged with rufous. Among the latter may
be noticed two or three deep chestnut feathers which
suggest the first appearance of the adult plumage ;
the long scapulars, innermost secondaries, and middle
tail-feathers bronze-brown, the latter tipped with buff,
the outer tail-feathers white marked with pale brown ;
the lesser upper wing-coverts show the remains of vouth,
and are similar to the previous stage but not quite so
bright, the secondaries differ from the previous stage in
having more white ; fore-head and lores dusky; a line
over the eye and continued round the nape buffy-
white becoming whiter on the nape: a dark line from
behind the eye jomimeg the black collar on the hind-
neck, which extends in an incomplete band across the
chest; under surface white. (April.)

The next stage differs from the fully adult by being
darker on the upper surface, in being rufous on the
scapulars instead of maroon-chestnut; paler rufous
on the upper tail-coverts, the buff tips to the central at
3 tail-feathers, the incomplete black fore-head and the
S. very much narrower band on the chest, which is also
intermixed with buff. (May.)

The next stage is the fully adult.

Novrs ON THE GENUS Fregata ... way eke 117

ON THE SPECIES AND SUBSPECIES OF THE
GENUS FREGATA.

By G. M. Maruews.

Twe species of Fregata are admitted in the Catalogue
of Birds in the British Museum, Vol. XXVI., under
the names Fregate. aquila and Fregata ariel. No sub-
Species are recognised, but the most superficial examination
showed that such could be determined. Criticism of
the British Museum material in order to fix the correct
names to be used for the birds occurring in Australia
has brought to light much of more than local interest.
Details will be given in full in my Birds of Australia
and this preliminary synopsis is here given for the
purpose of protecting my work, the first work on the
subject for over ten years.

The most interesting discovery was that the widely-
used name J regata aquila was inapplicable. This was
based on Pelecanus aquilus Linné (Syst. Nat., Ed. X.,
p. 133, 1758).

118 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD _ [Vol. Il.

Linné’s bird was from Ascension Island collected by
Osbeck. In the British Museum there is a series from
that locality and the male and female are all black with
the immature, even in the downy stage, with a white
head showing no rust colour.

This peculiar bird is confined to Ascension Island
and no subspecies are known to me. The Hon. Walter
Rothschild generously allowed me to examine his fine
collection of these birds in the Tring Museum and I have
confirmed my results by means of his material. The
common widely-spread species known as Fregata aquila
must then bear the name Fregata minor Gmelin.
This is very unfortunate, but there is no other conclusion
possible.

Gmelin (Syst. Nat., p. 572, 1789) described Pelecanus
minor, and all the references are derived from the Man-
of-War Bird of Edwards’ Gleaning, pl. 309. The figure
is a good one of a female and Edwards states this may
be so as he has heard the males are all black. No locality
is given nor is any determinable from the context.
After due consideration I therefore designate Jamaica
as the type locality of Gmelin’s species.

A series from South Trinidad Island show that the
bird resident there has a longer bill but a shorter
wing measurement. Differences in coloration, though
apparent, cannot be definitely fixed at the present time.
The largest female (females are larger than males) gives
culmen 128 mm., wing 624 mm., while the largest
measurements from anywhere in the West Indies,
Caribbean Seas, etc., are in the female, culmen 120 mm.,
with the wing 650 mm.

I name this form

FREGATA MINOR NICOLLI, subsp. n.

From the Seychelles, Aldabra, Gloriosa, etc., the
islands comprising the Mascarenes another subspecies
wan be recognised, the largest measurements of a female
being culmen 116 mm., and wing 621 mm. These birds,
vary somewhat among themselves so that it may be

No. 6.] THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD 119

two or more subspecies will later be recognised from
this group. I propose to name this subspecies

FREGATA MINOR ALDABRENSIS, subsp.,

selecting Aldabra as my type locality.

From Christmas Island, Indian Ocean, Dr. C. W.
Andrews gave me specimens of the two species he found
breeding there and which had been identified by Dr.
Sharpe as Fregata aquila and Fregata ariel. The former
is a distinct new species, hereafter described, while the
latter is a form of, Fregata minor. It is very small,
however, and the female only measures culmen
107 mm., with wing 599 mm.

I name this form

FREGATA MINOR LISTERI, subsp. n.

In the South Mid Pacific probably quite a distinct

form exists which will bear the name

FREGATA MINOR PALMERSTONI Gmelin.

This cannot be accurately defined as no series are
available from the type locality of Gmelin’s Pelecanus
palmerstoni, but odd specimens from adjacent localities
de not exactly agree with birds from other places.

Montrouzier’s Tachypetes chambeyroni may be here
temporarily associated. There is nothing in the de-
scription that would make me place Fregaia aquila with

Fregata ariel as is done in the Catalogue of Birds in the

British Museum.

Schauinsland collected a fine series of birds at Laysan
for the Hon. W. Rothschild, and these are easily dis-
tinguished by many points and will bear the name

FREGATA MINOR STRUMOSA Hartert.

Rothschild’s beautiful series from the, Galapagos “°~

Archipelago prove that two very distinct forms live
there, as pointed out by Ridgway but disputed by
Rothschild and Hartert.

Ridgway’s Fregata aquila is the bird breeding on the
Southern Islands, while his Fregata aquila minor is the
bird breeding on Culpepper and Wenman_ Islands.
These are exactly differentiated as Ridgway wrote,

vue.

120 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD _ [Vol. IL

and as the names used by Ridgway are inapplicable,
I name the two forms

FREGATA MINOR MAGNIFICENS, subsp. n.
and
FREGATA MINOR RIDGWAYI, subsp. n.

The former breeds on Barrington, Indefatigable,
Albemarle Islands, etc., and is characterised by its
very large size. The largest female (procured as a
straggler on Wenman Island) gives culmen 134 mm.,
wing 704 mm.

The latter breeds on Culpepper and Wenman Island
(but Ridgway’s bird was obtained as a straggler at
Tower Island), and the female gives culmen 108 mm.,
wing 620 mm.

The differences between these two forms in coloration
are that F. m. magnificens, in the male, has the breeding
plumes on the back with a purple sheen, the feathers
very narrow and the wing-coverts uniform black with
a purplish sheen. In F. m. ridgwayr the breeding
plumes on the back are broader and an oil-green colour
prevails, while a brawatels band extends along the wing-
coverts.

The measurements of the two subspecies do not
overlap in any way.

The larger Christmas Island, Indian Ocean, bird identi-
fied by Sharpe as F’. aquila is a very distinct species,
characterised by the male having the abdomen white
and the female being all white underneath from the
lower throat to the vent. It is also quite .a large bird,
the largest female giving the bill 136 mm. a the wing
635 mm.

It gives me great pleasure to call this species

FREGATA ANDREWSI, Sp. 0.,
as it was due to Dr. C. W. Andrews’ gift that this
investigation proved so interesting. Fregata ariel is
differentiated, as is pointed out in the Catalogue of
Birds in the British Museum, by the male having a -
white patch on the flanks.

No. 6.] THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD 121

It has not such a wide range as Fregaia minor, but
may even. be more local, for one of the results of my
researches is the proof that Fregata is practically a
sedentary genus.

The type locality of Fregata ariel is Raine Island,
Torres Straits, and a series from Bedout Island, North-
west Australia, shows that the latter bird is noticeably
larger, the largest females giving culmen 90 mm. and
wing 563 mm., while typical birds never exceed a wing
length of 545 mm.

I therefore name the Bedout Island form

FREGATA ARIEL TUNNYI, subsp. n.

From the Mascarene group a subspecies can be
recognised with a very small bill, the longest female
bill beng 80 mm., the longest wing 542 mm. I name
this subspecies

FREGATA ARIEL IREDALEI, subsp. n.

selecting Aldabra as the type locality.

A form has also been noticed in the Atlantic Ocean,
but no series are yet available.

In the preceding digest not much detail is given,
but such details will all be found in my Birds of Australia,
the part covering these birds being now in the press.

THE NOTES ON SOME AUSTRALIAN TYPES.
By Grecory M. MatTuHews.

‘Tue following rough notes were made during my recent
visit to Australia. The pages given are those of my
List of the Birds of Australia, published in 1913.

p- 30. Is not the bird listed as Podiceps poliocephalus
in the Emu, Vol. XII., p. 275, Tachybaptus ruficollis
novehollandic * Could it be re-examined ?

p. 33. In the Melbourne Museum are two specimens
ot Reinholdia reinholdi byroni from Queenscliff, Victoria,
labelled Puffinus assimilis.

p. 43. Phebetria fusca campbelli. There is one of this
dark form from Hobson’s Bay, Victoria, in the Melbourne
Museum.

p- 59. Is not the bird listed as Charadrius dominicus
in the Emu, Vol. XII, p. 275, Hupoda vereda? Could
it be re-examined 2

p. 81. There is an example of Lgretta garzetia
immaculata in the Melbourne Museum from Swan Hill,
Victoria, so this State must be added to the range as
a rare visitor.

p. 118. All the examples of Megastrix tenebricosa
I saw from Victoria were the large variety which I
called Megastria tenebricosa magna.

p- 143. Megapodargus plumiferus. There is an
example of this species in the Sydney Museum—a male
from the Clarence River, New South Wales. I have
a bird from the South of Brisbane, Queensland, which,
compared with the Clarence River specimen, is 4mm.
longer in the wing, tarsus and toes of equal length,
2mm. wider in the bill at the gape, slightly longer in
the tail, and lighter in colour.

No. 7.] THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD 135.

There is also an example in the Mackay Museum,
Sydney, from Moreton Bay. Its range is Southern
Queensland (from Moreton Bay) to the Clarence River
in northern New South Wales.

The type of Podargus gouldi Masters was collected |
in June, 1875, at Kimberley, Norman River, Gulf of
Carpentaria, Queensland.

p- 172. Wilsonavis fusca pallide North differs from
W. jf. fusca in being paler in colour and smaller. Wing
51mm., culmen 8, tarsus 18, tail 41. The type has
been examined and measured as above.

p- 173. Wilsonavis masters’ Sharpe (of which
Wilsonavis simplex Masters is a synonym), was collected
at Kimberley, Norman River, Gulf of Carpentaria,
Queensland. Not Cape York as given. It is brownish-
grey above, white below; lores brown, a white line over
the bill and over the eye; tajl with grey base, with a
large black bar and a large white spot on the inner
webs. (Type examined.)

p- 185. Rhipidura albicauda North differs from
R. alisteri in having the two outer tail-feathers pure
white, the next with a fringe of brown on the outer
web: this fringe gets wider on the 4th and 5th but never
covers the entire outer web. Middle tail-feathers all
brown. White shafts to all but the central tail-feathers,
which have them dark brown. (Type examined.)

p- 191. Carterornis leucotis, collected by R. Grant
from Lithgow (?). Was the label added afterwards,
and a mistake in locality given ?

p- 222. Sericornis tyrannulus De Vis. Untortunately
the unique example was lost, and so I am not able to
make any remarks about it.

p. 224. The type of Malurus australis North was
collected at Meadow Bank, near Ryde, Sydney.

136 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD =: [Vol. II. -

p. 226. The type of Malurus assimilis North was
collected in Mossgiel District, New South Wales.

p- 232. Diaphorillas textilis modestus (North) was
compared by North with a bird from Petermann Creek,
which he considered the true “teatilis”’ of Quoy et
Gaimard. This bird I have since named D. t. purnelli;
it differs from West Australia birds from Day Dawn
and Yalgo in having a shorter tail, and the throat and
under-surface much more suffused with reddish.

I have birds from near Broken Hill, New South Wales,
which agree with “ modestus,’ which latter type I have
examined. I have also examined the co-type of
‘‘modestus *’ from Mossgiel District. The range therefore
will be Central Australia and New South Wales (from
Broken Hill to Mossgiel District).

The type of D. striata rufa (Campbell and Kershaw),
Lat. 19° 27 about 160 miles north of Survey Camp IV.,
July 3rd, 1911, differs from D. s. howei in having the
upper-surface, with the feathers very rufous, and the
white shaft streaks not bordered with black, except
some of the feathers of the fore-head. It is more like
““oweni”’ (Mathews).

The co-type (spirit specimen) collected at Lander
Creek, Northern Territory, June 2nd, 1911, has the
white shaft streaks narrowly fringed with black.

p. 236. Angroyan cyanopterus. Just out of nest.
Wing-feather with a white edging at the tip. Feathers
of the back, breast, and head dark grey, with a pale
central stripe, sometimes almost white but between
the shoulders brownish. Bill greyish brown; gape
pale yellowish; legs greyish; throat yellow (J.
Burton Cleland).

p. 252. Zosterops lateralis bowie Horne, the type has
the upper-surface greyish ; primaries dark brown, edged
with grey; under wing-coverts white; throat and
upper-breast grey ; abdomen and vent whitish; sides‘
of the body brown, as in normal birds; the grey of the

No. 7.] THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD 137

back in normal birds extends all over the upper-surface
in this one, but is darker than normal birds.

p. 280. Ptilotula flavescens germana (Ramsay), Proc.
Linn. Soc. (N.S.W.), Vol. III., p. 2, 1878, Torres Strait ;
but on p. 285 Ramsay says: “I have only seen three
specimens of this species from Port Moresby” [New
Guine], but I believe it is also found on the Islands in
Torres Straits. It is a sub-species of P. flavescens Gould.

Alisteranus neglectus North. The type has the tips
of the upper tail-coverts white, some are widely tipped ;
flanks slightly tipped with white.

DIGGLES’ ORNITHOLOGY OF AUSTRALIA,
AND OTHER WORKS.

By Grecory M. MatHEws.

DiGGLEs proposed to bring out this work in monthly
parts, but after twenty-one parts were published it
lapsed. In 1877 these were collected and indexed and
title pages issued, and it was then called “ Companion
to Gould’s Handbook,’ and commonly this date is
quoted. I have been unable, as yet, to procure a copy
in the original parts, but looking up the Zoological
Record in the late ’sixties, I noted that the plates were
recorded with the parts mentioned. From that source
I have collated the following, which is an advance on
anything previously known, and will prove serviceable
till more complete data is procured.

In the Zoological Record for 1866, p. 57, is recorded :

“ Diggles, Sylvester. The Ornithology of Australia.
Queensland. Imp. 4to. Parts I.-X., pls. We do not
know when the publication of this work was commenced,
but ten parts, which are said to appear monthly, have
reached England. Each contains six plates, very fairly
executed, and a small portion of accompanying letter-
press. The species figured will be found named in
the special part.”

138 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD _ [Vol. If.

In the Zoological Record for 1867, p. 64, is added :

“Pts. XI.-XV., pls. Five more parts of this work
have reached England. The most important species
noticed and figured is the Casuwarius of Australia.”

In the Zoological Record for 1868, p. 51, is continued :

“Pts. XVI.-XX., pls. Five parts of this work, con-
taining a large number of figures, have reached us since
we last noticed it.”

No note in the Zoological Record for 1869 appeoest
but in the Record for 1870, p. 32, is the tale completed :

“Part XXI. The only part of this work that has.
reached us since it was last noticed.”

From the Record I find the contents of the parts to
be very confused, as here detailed :—

» There are only two new species included in this work,
Strix walleri and Ptilorhynchus rawnsleyi. ‘The latter
‘was based on a hybrid.

In No. 3 of this journal I wrote upon “ Diggles’
New Species of Australian Birds” (Vol. I., pp. 68-72,
1912), and identifying the forms introduced in one paper,
put on record that there were three other papers with
apparently seven new species still to be satisfactorily
disposed of.

‘While in Brisbane, Australia, April 26th-May 2nd,
1914, I made inquiries about the “Transactions of the
Philosophical Society of Queensland,” where HS
‘papers appeared.

Dr. John Shirley very kindly lent me what is con-
‘sidered a complete set of the papers as far as is known.

Vol. I., if such it can be called, seems to consist of
certain articles appearing in the “ Brisbane Guardian,”
and then printed in octavo form, paged. Or, at least,
printed at the “ Guardian” office.

In the copy I have, the third article is “From the

‘Queensland Guardian,’ October 18, 1864,” and is an
account of the previous evening’s meeting (Monday,
17th).

Article 4.—Has the same except that the date is March
30th, 1866.

Article 5.—June 2nd, 1866.

Article 6.—‘‘ From the ‘ Queensland Daily Guardian,’ ”’
February 21st, 1867, and is an account of the meeting
of the 15th February.

Article 7—The same. March 30th, 1867.

Article 8.—The same. June 29th, 1867, and is an
account of the previous evening’s meeting (Friday, 28th).

No: 7.| THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD 145

_ Article 9—Is an account of the annual meeting,
December 21st, 1869, in which articles 10 and 6 and
others, not here, are mentioned.

' Article 10.—On ‘‘ Coccus Insects,” August, 1869.
Article 11.—Read on Thursday, February 22nd, 1872.
Article 12.—Read on Thursday, March 28th, 1872. —
This appears to end Vol. I. Whether they are all the

papers published, I do not know.

Vol. IL. was issued as a bound volume in 1878. The
President’s address was dated 1877.

The first article in this volume is a paper by Diggles,
read 6th November, 1873, and at the end it is printed :
“This paper was originally printed in the ‘ Brisbane
Courier.’ ”’

Article 2, by the same author, dated 29th January,
- 1874, at the end is printed: “ This paper was originally
printed in the ‘ Brisbane Telegraph.’ ”’

_. Article 3, by the same author, dated 28th May, 1874.
“These three papers are paged consecutively, and are
issued in the bound volume, and separately.

Other articles were read up to October 25th, 1877,
when volume II. ends. Vol. III. went from 1878 to 1882,
when the publication lapsed. The Society was, in 1883,
merged into the Royal Society of Queensland, whose
first publication appeared in 1884.

Queensland was separated from New South Wales in
1859, and the Philosophical Society started a few years
after this.

These three papers by Diggles are the three missing
ones referred to at the beginning of this paper.

The first, dated 6th November, 1873, begins :—

“Mr. J. T. Cockerell, since his return from the North,
has been kind enough to place in my hands two new and
interesting birds for the purpose of having them figured
and described.”’

The first Diggles called ‘“‘ M. striatus,’ though noting
it was not a typical Milvus. The description is good,
and Ramsay’s suggestion that it was Henicopernis
dongicauda Garnot, and came from the Aru Islands,

146 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD _ [Vol. I.

is quite correct. I examined the drawing which
is preserved in the Mitchell Library in Sydney, New
South Wales, and there can be no doubt about this.
The bird with the same data as Cockerell gave is in the
British Museum, and is the actual type. It should
be well known, but it is as well to emphasize it again
that J. T. Cockerell made a trip to Cape York and arrived
back with a large collection of birds, presumably Queens-
land-collected, but which had been obtained on the
Islands to the North, apparently the Aru Islands. These
were imposed upon Messrs. Salvin and Godman and are
now in the British Museum. Cockerell also deluded
Diggles, as all these seven new birds were from the
Cockerell source, and, as will be noted hereafter, are not
Australian. Paratypes, if not the actual birds figured —
and described by Diggles, of most of these exist in the
British Museum Collection.

Diggles gives as the locality of his M. striatus: “Shot
by Mr. Cockerell in April of the present year, in Whit-
sunday Passage, about latitude 20 degs., 30 mins. Two
were seen, but only one secured.” he |

It is quite possible that this datum is correct, as it
would not be difficult for Henicopernis to straggle south,
as it is known from New Guinea just opposite Cape York.
The fact that the authority of the statement is Cockerell
is now sufficient to absolutely reject it. '

The other bird was called H(ulabeornis) griseovenires,
and I wrote: “If the latter be the Aru Island Hula-
beornis, Diggles’ name will displace H. sharper Rothschild
and Hartert.” Examination of Diggles’ drawing showed
that Diggles’ species had little to do with Hulabeornis,
but was made from a specimen of Gymnocrex plumbet-
ventris Gray, 1861. I here reproduce the description
given by Diggles :— |

“‘ Head, neck, upper part of the back and chest deep
chestnut ; wings and middle of the back olive brown ;
primaries light chestnut; lower portion of back and
tail deep black; abdomen dark grey; vent and under
tail-coverts black; feathers of the flanks and under-

No. 7.] THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD 147

surface of shoulder black, broadly tipped with white ;
throat whitish, barred with chestnut; bill greenish
_ yellow, darkest at the base and lighter at the tip; iris
bright scarlet, bare space round the eye also scarlet ;
legs and feet vermilion; length 153 inches; wing
74; tail 24; bill 23; tarsus 24; middle toe 1%.”

“The habitats he (Mr. Cockerell) has given me being
Cape York and Thirsty Sound.”

In the British Museum is preserved a specimen from
Cockerell, which may be regarded as the type or substi-
tute type of Diggles’ species. It is catalogued as from
[Aru Islands] but here again Cockerell’s iniquity becomes
apparent, as this bird has, apparently, only otherwise
been obtained at the Aru Islands by Ribbe (Berlepsch,
Abhandl. Senckenb. Naturf. Gesells. Bd., XXXIV.,
1911, p. 85) and is a rare bird.

As the species was described from Mysol, it is possible
Diggles’ name may come into service subspecifically at
some later date.

The second paper was read 29th January, 1874, and
after an account of the habits of Menura alberti, given
to Diggles by the untruthful Cockerell, four new birds are
described, all procured by Cockerell.

Diggles exhibited drawings and described the birds
as follows :—

“ Ardetta nigra, or the black bittern.

“The head, neck, back, upper portion of the wings
and the tail are greyish black, primaries and secondaries
grey, lightest on the outer webs; under-surface dark
blackish grey, tinged with brown; legs and feet black ;
bill black, with a streak of yellowish horn colour on the
under mandible; eyes yellow, cere greenish yellow.
Length 214 inches; wing 81; tail 3; tarsus 2}:
bill 33. This specimen was shot in a swampy region
full of reeds and aquatic vegetation, between the
Jardine and Kennedy rivers, about thirty miles from
Cape York.”

There is no specimen of this in the British Museum.
The description agrees fairly with that of Dupetor melas

a

148 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD [Vol. If:

Sharpe, Cat. Birds, Vol. XXVI., p. 251, 1898, based
on Ardetia melena Salvadori, 1878.
It is not, however, exactly the same, and this species
comes from Batchian, Morotai, Bourn, etc., and is not
known from the Aru Islands yet. Consequently Ardetta
nigra Diggles, presumably from the Aru Islands, cannot
be exactly determined. .
The next, of which a full description is given which I
will not repeat here, was named Ardetia cockerelli or
Cockerell’s bittern. “Shot at the same time and place
as the preceding.” |
The description applies exactly to Zonerodius heliosylus:'
Lesson, and in the Cat. Birds British Museum, Vol.
XXVI., 1898, p. 193, a specimen ex Cockerell is listed
with the footnote: “This specimen was sold by Mr.
Cockerell as a ‘new species’ from Thirsty Sound, near .
Port Bowen, in Queensland. As all the other supposed
‘new’ species discovered by Mr. Cockerell proved to—
have come from the Aru Islands, it is safe to suppose
that this Tiger Bittern is also from the latter locality.”
However, according to Berlepsch, it is otherwise un-
recorded from the Aru Islands—another testimony to:
the confusion caused by the unconscionable Cockerell.
The specimen in the British Museum can be considered
the type or substitute type of Diggles’ species. |
The next species was called Alcyone bella, and described
as follows: ‘‘ Fore-head, ear coverts, and interrupted.
kand on the chest black; head intense blackish blue,
the centre of each feather on which is glossy and shining
ultramarine blue; shoulder and primaries brownish
black. The rest of the wing dark purplish blue, except
the greater and lesser coverts, which have ultramarine
glossings in the centre of each feather, like the feathers
of the crown; lores and a tuft behind the ear coverts
whitish buff; throat white; chest, abdomen and
under tail-coverts rich orange ; centre of the back and
upper tail-coverts bright shining cobalt blue; _ tail
nearly black; irides and bill black; feet flesh colour...
Length 5} inches ; wing 24; tail 2; bill 13; tarsus 1.

No. 7.) THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD 149

Several specimens of this beautiful little creature
were obtained about twelve miles from Cape York by
Mr. Cockerell.”’

‘This description applies to Ceyx solitaria Temminck,

and. under this species in the Cat. Birds British Museum,
Vol. XVII., 1892, p. 189, are included: “‘ Specimens
g—n, Aru Islands (J. T. Cockerell).”
_ These may be considered types or substitute types of
Diggles’ species, and as the type-locality of Temminck’s
- species is Lobo, New Guinea, should the Aru Island form
be subspecifically separable, as seems possible from the
British Museum collection, it will bear Diggles’ name.

The fourth “new” bird was called Alcyone assimilis
(allied Kingfisher). The specific name which I have
applied to this species has reference to the similarity
which exists between our A. pusilla and itself, but the
~ general dullness of colour throughout, and the absence of
the slightest tinge of green sufficiently distinguished it.
Upper surface deep purplish blue, more or less mingled
with blackish, especially on the wings; primaries and
secondaries brownish black; lores, and the usual tuft
behind the ear coverts, and the whole of the under-surface
pure white. There is a purple band on each side of the
chest, and the flanks are blackish brown; bill and
irides black. Length 43 inches; wing 2; tail %; bill 13;
tarsus 4. This bird is found in the same locality as
the preceding.”

In the British Museum Catalogue, pp. 171-172, under
Alcyone pusilla Temm. are catalogued :

““ Specimens i. k. 1. m., Cape York (J. T. Cockerell).

Ms n. ., Newcastle Bay, Queensland
‘i (J. T. Cockerell).”’

These may be considered types or substitute types of
Diggles’ species, and the locality must be altered to Aru
Islands, when the same remarks apply as to the preceding
bird.

In the third paper, read ‘28th May, 1874,” is
described :

“ Ptilonopus chrysogaster. The natural habitat of this

150 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD _ [Vol. I.

species is probably New Guinea. The specimen, of which
my drawing is a representation, was shot by Mr. Cockerell
near Cape York. It much resembles P. swainsoni both
in size and coloration, the principal differences being
the absence of the red or pink crown and also the large
portion of the under surface, which in P. swainsoni is
first black, followed by crimson and orange ; the under
tail-coverts are also orange, whereas in P. chrysogaster
a central patch of orange alone exists. The chest is -
sparsely freckled, and the tips of the tail-feathers are also
greyish green and not yellow as in swainsont.”

In the British Museum is preserved a specimen of
Ptilopus tozonus Gray, collected by Cockerell. This is
another Aru Island bird, and the specimen may be con-
sidered the type or substitute type of Diggles’ species,
which in this case becomes an absolute synonym, as
Gray’s species was described from the Aru Islands.

The New Nectarinea Diggles did not name, so that
no further notice need be taken of it, save to record it
as also not Australian. ;

It appears that the author’s separates were published
before the bound volume, as though the covers of Diggles’
paper bear no data; in the copy before me, I note
“The Annual Report, 1877” is dated 1877 at the
foot. Another paper, ““ Notes of Rambles in Search of
Fossil Remains on the Darling Downs,” by George F.
Bennett, read 7th December, 1875, has a title page
which is dated 1876, though the paper is separately
paged. Another paper, again separately paged, read
2nd September, 1877, has a title page dated 1878, while
still another on “ Pituri and Duboisia,’ by Bancroft,
only read October 25th, 1877, has a title page dated 1877.

Consequently Diggles’ separates may have been issued
any time from 1875-78.

With regard to the paper I previously discussed, the
following comments must be made. The date of publica-
tion I cannot exactly prove. In two bound copies of
the Transactions I examined this paper is not included,
although mentioned: on p. 4 of the Report presented to
the Members of the Council. I observed that it consisted
of four pages, 9, 10, 11, 12. This pagination I now find
is continuous with the three papers by Diggles just
discussed. I conclude it must have been published in
1878, as in March, 1877, Castelnau and Ramsay could not
quote it, and a new volume commenced in 1878, so that
it would scarcely have come out later. A ietter from
Dr. Longman succeeds this, but here I would note that
Castelnau and Ramsay’s reference will anticipate Diggles’,
as I suggested.

Examination of Diggles’ drawings shows that his
Cuculus brisbanensis was based on the immature of
C. variolosus Vigors and Horsfield, and not upon the
immature of C. rubricatus Latham, as I concluded in
the paper quoted.

Before leaving Brisbane, Dr. Longman promised to

152 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD [Vol. Iv

find out all possible information, and his letter is the
result :—
QUEENSLAND MUSEUM,
BRISBANE,
25th May, 1914.
Dear Mr. MatHews,—

Through the kindness of Mr. Gillies, the hon. librarian.
to the Royal Society of Queensland I secured the minute
book of the old Philosophical Society and gleaned some
little information therefrom. Much of this is indefinite,
but I think the following points are clear. Diggles’
papers were read on the dates noted by Shirley in his
Catalogue of Queensland Literature, and full reports
appeared in the current newspaper; but according to
the minute-book, it was agreed, after discussion, that the
printing of these papers “‘ be held over.” The assistance.
of the Government was asked, and in response, the.
Government Printer was authorised to print the Society’s:
scientific papers. This apparently resulted in Vol. IT.,
published in 1878, which contained the report of the
year 1876, and Diggles’ papers from 1873 onwards
[except paper 4]. This you have I know. I have
endeavoured to get from the Government Printer actual
particulars of publication, but they have no records and
cannot help us. From the minute-book, however, I
find that publications of the report and address were being’
sent in 1877 to the other Australian scientific bodies, to
some half-dozen popular scientific journals, to one or two
libraries and universities, and to the Royal Society of
London. Reprints from the earlier newspaper reports
were probably obtained by authors of papers and handed
to friends, but of this there is no definite record.

Thus it seems that the official date of publication was
the 1878 volume. The only reference to Vol. II. appears:
in minutes of a meeting held 14th November, 1878, when.
the Secretary was authorised to send a copy of this to an
applicant. There Vol. II. is referred to as the report for
1877-8. I am sorry we cannot help you with a definite
birth certificate of Vol. II., but the Society seems then.

to have been in a muddle, and minutes are very

condensed.
(Signed) Heber A. Lonemay,

Deputy Director.

Diggles’ first three papers, pp. 1 to 8, were separately
printed with a pink wrapper, the remains of which is
still visible in the bound copies, not before May, 1874,
but between that date and 1878. Ramsay quotes
Diggles’ names for the first time in P.LS., N.s.w.,
Vol. II, p 205, January, 1878, but says he only knew
them from a newspaper report of a paper read hefore
the Philosophical Society of Queensland.

THE DATES OF PUBLICATION OF VIEILLOT’S
GALERIE DES OISHAUX.

By Gregory M. Matuerws.

Some years ago I instituted an investigation into the
dates of the publication of this work. I collated all the
data possible but withheld publication, as I did not
consider it complete and hoped in the future to obtain
more facts.

In the Nov. Zool., Vol. XVIII, p. 11, June, 1911, I
replaced Microglossus Vieillot (Galerie d’Oiseaux, Vol. I.,
p. 47, pl. 50) by Solenoglossus Ranzani, 1821. It was
in connection with this name that my inquiries were
made.

Recently it has been suggested that I was incorrect
in giving Ranzani’s name priority, as it was not published
until March, 1821, whereas it was claimed that Vieillot’s
name was published in January, 1821. In order that
such an erroneous conclusion should not be published,
I herewith place on record my data, incomplete as it is,
but definite as regards the name in question.

I have to sincerely thank Mr. C. Davies Sherborn
and Dr. C. W. Richmond for the additional data they
have generously handed to me, thereby confirming
my own results.

It will be seen that the prospectus was not carried out
and a few remarks must be offered in connection with
the above.

The Galerie consists of coloured plates, with a few
black plates of heads and feet of birds. Sometimes
the issue of these black plates is noted as under Livrs. 6
and 7: probably where 5 plates occur one of these was
a black one, but in connection with Livr. 22 the issue
of 5 coloured plates and one (black) plate is mentioned.
The issue of the parts was fairly regular. Livr. 53
was not acknowledged until after Livr. 61, while Livr. 60
was twice acknowledged. Livr. 69 is not recorded until
after 71, while when 74 is received a note is made that
73 was not published. After Livr. 77, however, the
receipt of 73 is admitted. Livr. 79 is missing, but three
months after Livr. 82, when “the work is completed ”
is remarked, the receipt of Livr. 73 is admitted and
another note is made: “The work is completed; it is
composed of 82 livraisons.” I think this 73 is an error
for 79, which was found to have been overlooked. The
contents of each livraison are at present unknown to
me, but from the succeeding notes a fair degree of
accuracy as to the exact date of each plate can be
secured.

No.7. ] THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD 157

The first item of importance to be recognised is that
the book as generally bound does not show the correct
method of publication for the following reason: After
the title appears, “Avis de lEditeur,” beginning :
“Le premier plan de cet ouvrage ayant paru inad-
missible, on a du le changer,” and concluding, “‘ Les six
premiéres livraisons n’étant point le travail de M. Vieillot,
et n’ofirent de rapports avec son ouvrage que par les
descriptions et les figures, doivent étre réunies et placées
en forme de supplément a la fin des volumes, de la
maniére mdiquée dans l’ Avis au relieur.”’

This has been done and Volume I. consists of two
parts, bound together, and paged 1 onwards, the plates
numbered 1 onwards. Volume II. contains at the end
the text and plates of the first six livraisons together
with all the black plates. In a copy in the Bird Room
of the British Museum (Natural History) these are
separately bound together and labelled Volume III.

Consequently page 1, plate 1, of Volume I. appeared
n Livraison 7, published March 31, 1821.

Microglossus aterrimus is figured on plate 50 and
consequently would be included in Livraison 20, which
was recorded under date November 16, 1822. That
it was not published before March, 1821, can be seen
from the fact that in the letterpress accompanying the
plate is written (p. 48), ‘“‘M. Geoffroy Saint Hilaire ... a
publiée des details du plus grand interét dans un mémoire
lu a Académie des Sciences de le 6 Juillet 1821.”

In the Bull. Gen. et Univ. Annonces et Nouv. Sci.
(Ferussac), Vol. I., No. 1 (? Jan.) 1823, is recorded :

(p. 60) “ Galerie des Oiseaux 18° livr. in 4 d’une feuille
et 4 planches coloriées. ... Il a déja paru vingt-cing
livraisons de cette ouvrage Desm.”’

In Vol. IL., p. 62 (? Apl.) 1823, the receipt of Livraisons
26, 27 and 28 is noted and the contents given.

“La 26° livr. de 1 f. et demie de texte et 4 pl. contenant

Livrs. 51-80 in Vol. IX., p. 232 (Oct. or Nov.), 1826, no
contents of any livraison are given. .

In the bound work the contents of Livrs. 26-28 as
above given follow each other as recorded, the plates
being the numbers LXXVI-LXXXVII. Simply calcu-
lating from the data above given we arrive at the
contents of Livrs. 26-28 as LXXVITI-LXXXIX. and as
I noticed there is a plate 23 bis. These figures accu-
rately confirm each other.

Mr. Sherborn has noted in his Manuscript that the
Linnean Society have preserved in their Donation Book
that Livraisons 79-80 were received Aug. 12, 1826, and
Livraisons 81-82 on Oct. 1, 1826.

Other odd scraps of data which need not here be
dealt with confirm the preceding data, so that practically
every plate can be fairly given the date of publication.
As proven above, in the case of Microglossus, the facts
are conclusive that Solenoglossus Ranzani has absolute
priority as I indicated at the quotation given.

It might be pointed out that the Volume I. contains
two parts which are separately paged, so that when
Microglossus is quoted it should be written Vol. L.,
pt. 2, p. 47, 1822, pl. 50. There is only 56 pp. in the

first part, and 339 pp. in the second part. Though

Vol. II. bears signatures IJII., IV., V° Partie, the
pagination is continuous, and ‘it is not necessary to
quote these parts. 3
