This species was a})pareiitly driven to the coast by the severe 

 (^Irought of 190:2. Mr. H. Newcombe presented a specimen in the 

 Hesh, that he had shot on the 31st May, 190l', at Kurnell. 

 During the following month Mr. James- Stein trapped one at 

 Smithheld, and in July of the same year, Dr. James C. Cox, 

 Crown Trustee, sent me a specimen for identification, obtained 

 at Pittwater. Previously this species had not been recorded from 

 the County of Cumberland.

In my first "List of the Birds found in the County of Cum- 

 berland," publislK^l in the '• Proceedings of the Linnean Society 

 of New South Wales " in 1888,'' I enumerated this species. "In 

 my second list published in the "Handbook of Sydney and County 

 of Cumberland''' in 189S, it was omitted, owing to the want of 

 confirmatoiy evidence of its occurrence. I have never seen a 

 .specimen in the fiesh, but find that I had overlooked a skin in 

 the Reference Collection of the Australian Museum, obtained by 

 Mr. George Masters at Wojje's Creek, in July, 1(SG9.
