Ptilorkis paradisea (the N.S.W. Rifle bird) was plentiful in the 

 Clarence, Richmond, and Tweed Districts ; and was found as far

Ptilorhis Victorice he met with at Rockingham Bay, and had 

 received specimens from Trinity Bay (Broadbent), and Barnard

 remarks by beautifuUy-preserved skins of males, females, and 

 young of all the four species.
