990 ON A COLLECTION PROM NORFOLK ISLAND — FISHES, ETC., 



The birds received no attention from me, and I only obtained 

 three species which are identified by Dr, Ramsay as Petroeca 

 multicolor, Gm., Platycercus Pennantii, Lath., and Gygis Can- 

 dida, Gm. In conchxsion, I would express my thanks to Dr. E. P. 

 Ramsay, who has offered me every assistance and encouragement 

 in my endeavour to add a little to our knowledge of the fauna of 

 this interesting island. I am also indebted to Captain Franklin 

 Bates, of Norfolk Island, for valuable contributions and assistance. 

 A set of the specimens obtained by me, including the types of the 

 new species, has been presented to the Trustees of the Australian 

 Museum for the public collection of the colony.

Phyllodactylus guentheri, Boulenger. 



Two examples of this Gecko have been brought back by Mr.

 proper, but that it is common on Phillip and Nepean Islands, a 

 remark which had previously been made by Dr. Charles T. Downing.
