Mr. Caley informs us that he called ‘this bird Cookaycock, 
from its uttering a sound like that word. ‘lhe natives call it 
Cokeran. It now and then may be seen in the scrubs about 
Paramatta, always on trees; but it is common in the neighbour- 
hood of Sydney. It is what I should call an inhabitant of the 
coast. I have met with it at Western Port.”

Genus. 
* We take this opportunity of characterizing the following bird, which has been 
generally considered the young of Anth. carunculata, but which appears to us to be 
distinct. Besides some strong marks of difference in the colours of the two birds, 
which appear too decided to indicate the difference merely of age, the shape of the 
caruncle affords a strong ground for separation. In our bird this appendage to the 
cheeks is short, flat, compressed, and suboval. In Anth. carunculata it is long, nar- 
row and cylindric. "The difference between the two birds is much too great to allow 
us to refer them to one species, without authentic proof of their identity. Our bird 
resembles the description of Merops chrysopterus, Lath.; but that bird is said to have 
no caruncle on the cheeks, and to have the markings on the wings of a golden-orange 
colour.
