84. Myzomela pectoralis, Gould. 

 This species is, during some seasons, plentiful in the neighburhood 

 of Cairns and Cardwell, where I found it breeding in 1873-74. 

 Specimens from Cape York and Derby do not differ from those 

 found further south. The young differ materially in plumage from 

 the adults. 



85. Chalcites basalis, Horsf. 



Similar to other members of the species. 



(54 bis). Cacatua gymnopis, Sclater. 

 Found also in the Gulf District, where it is tolerably plentiful. 

 It belongs to the sub-genus Licmetis rather than to Cacatua. 



86. Calyptorhynchus naso, Gould. 

 Quite the same as others from King George's Sound. 



87. Phaps histrionica, Gould. 



Several specimens in adult plumage of this well-marked species. 



88. Synoicus australis, Lath. 

 Same as the eastern form of this species. 



89. LOBIVANELLUS MILES, Bodd. 



(L. personatus, Gould). 



This appears to be a common species in the district, and similar 

 to the Cape York birds. Its range extends as far south on the east 

 coast as Cooktown, its southern representative being found as 

 far as the Herbert River " Valley of Lagoons." 



90. Erythrogonys cinctus, Gould. 

 An inland species, but evidently dispersed over the whole of 

 Australia; it is plentiful in the southern provinces of the interior 



91. Recurvirostra rubricollis, Temm. 



92. Himantopus leucocephalus, Gould. 



These species are found over the whole of Australia, both on 

 the coast line and in the interior, and are most plentiful on the 

 inland lakes of the southern districts.
