It seems, indeed, that the specimens from N. W. Australia have larger bills than 

 those from Queensland and N. 8. Wales, but the specimens from Rockingham Bay 

 belong to the latter, smaller-billed race, and not to miu-iorhijnrhm.

It seems to me that northern and western specimens are smaller than eastern 

 ones, but the differences are very slight. None of onr western birds have the wings 

 longer than 190 mm., while eastern cues range to at least 201 mm. There is, 

 however, much variation. The differences in colour suggested by Mr. Le Sonef 

 {Ibis, ISO'-i, p. 300) do not exist (cf Ibis, 1!»00, p. 045).
