Re-xaming Australian Birds : Is it Necessary ? — ]\Ir. 

 A. J. Campbell, C.M.B.O.U., &c., has issued in pamphlet form 

 an address delivered at a conversazione of the Royal Australian 

 Ornithologists' Union on 3rd July last. The object of the 

 address is to call attention to the hopeless confusion into which 

 the list of Australian birds is being thrown by those energetic 

 literary ornithologists who are engaged in searching obscure 

 and scarce literature for chance references and earlier names 

 for many of our birds. He contends that the greater number 

 of Gould's names are scientifically correct, and should remain 

 as the basis of an Australian bird-list. Many of these names 

 have been in use for upwards of seventy years ; why replace 

 them with names which, in many instances, are totally 

 inapplicable ? And we think most naturalists will agree with 

 his contention. Mr. Campbell promises, after the war, a 

 volume descriptive of his experiences in various parts of Aus- 

 tralia, which should have a ready sale.
