206 THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE LINNEAN SOCIETY 



Eulabeornis griseoventris, Diggles. Cinnyris aspasioe, Ceyx 

 solitarius, with Henicopernis longicauda, are said to have been 

 obtained near Cape York, but are of doubtful origin. Mr. 

 Cockerell's large collection was made at the Aru Islands, 

 where these species were probably collected. We must have 

 therefore, some more authentic proof of their being obtained on 

 the Australian Continent, before they are admitted into our list 

 of birds ; nevertheless it is not improbable that Henicopernis 

 longicauda, Geyx solitarius, and Oinnyris aspasios may yet be 

 found on the Australian Continent, as we have authentic speci- 

 mens from Port Moresby, on the South Coast of New Guinea ; 

 but until we have some further information on this point I do 

 not consider it right that we should admit them as Australian, 

 especially as the only collection in which they have been found, 

 was undoubtedly from the Aru Islands, where these birds are 

 common. 



Acanthiza buchanani ; Vig. 8f Horsf. Trans. Linn., Soc. XV., p. 227. 



I have never seen this species, nor can I find any bird answering 

 the description given under this name ; no habitat is given with 

 the description. 



Trichoglossus verreuxi, Bp. Rev. et. Mag. Zool. (1854), p. 157. 

 G. B. Gray, List. Psitt. (1859), ^>. 61 ; Finsch, Papag. II, p. 846. 



This species, if a true species, is certainly not Australian, 

 unless it be a gage-bird perhaps of T. concinnus, of which I have 

 seen several, variegated with yellow on the breast, neck and back. 



Eopsaltria magnirostris, Ramsay. 

 Eopsaltria clirysorrhous, Could ; fol, vol. III., pi. 11. 



The true E. australis, Musicapa australis of Latham, is confined 

 to the South-eastern and South portion of Australia, and may be 

 distinguished by the dull wax-yetlow of the rump. See P. Z. S., 

 1868, p. 384. Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist. (4) IV., pp. 108, 109. 



Malurus leuconotus, Goidd. Malurus callainds, Goidd. 



The habitat of these species is the interior of South Australia. 



AmytiS macrourus, Gould, is found in the central portion of 

 Western Australia.
