394 THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE LINNEAN SOCIETY 



Agrees with Dr. Sclater's description of this species, but is a 

 trifle smaller, and the blue band down the forehead is not so 

 broad ; the yellow tint on the side of the head is brighter. 



GO. Cacatua galerita. 



61. Microglossia aterrimum, Gm. 



Some specimens agreeing with those from Cape York have 

 the crest feathers much more narrow ; othei's again, having the bill 

 larger and the culmen wider, have the plumes of the crest broader. 

 The young have the feathers of the abdomen narrowly margined 

 with yellow, in some forming a band across the body. 



62. Centropus melanurus, Gould. 



Very much smaller and darker in plumage than the Cape York 

 specimens. This is the Polopliilus nigricans of Salvadori. 



63. Cuculus insperatus, Gould. ? 



64. SCYTHROPS NOY.E-HOLLANDI.E. 



65. Ptilinopus coronulatus, G. R. Gray. 



66. Ptilopus iozonus, G. B. Gray. 



67. Carpophaga puella, Less. 



68. Carpophaga pinon, Quoy and Gaim. 



69. Carpophaga mulleri, Temm. 



70. Carpophaga spilorrhoa, G. R. Gray. 



71. Ceopelia humeralis. 



72. Geopelia placida, Gould. 



73. Chalcophaps longirostris, Gould. 



74. Goura D'Albertisi, Salvadori. 



Several fine specimens, showing the same characteristic white 

 markings of the greater wing coverts. 



75. Megapodius duperreyi, Less. 



76. Megapodius cuvieri, Less. 



This is undoubtedly a Megapodius, and not a Talegalla. The 

 egg resembles that of M. tumulus, but is much larger, being 

 3 9 in. in length, 2-48 in breadth, and of a rich salmon-ochre colour. 



77. Synoicus cervinus, Gould. 



78. Numenius uropygialis, Gould. 



79. Actilis empusa, L. 



80. iEGIALITIS HIATICULA, Guv.
