XXVIII. — Additional List of Birds from Port Denison. 

 By Edward P. Ramsay. 



At various intervals since I forwarded my first List of Birds from 

 Port Denison (Ibis, 1865, p. 83), I have received from the same 

 source several collections, in which are contained many species 

 not hitherto mentioned as being found so far to the north. 



Port Denison seems to be situated at about the southern limit 

 of the north-country birds, and the northern limit of our New 

 South Wales species. Its fauna therefore includes many thought 

 to be peculiar to North Australia, as well as most of the common 

 bii'ds of this colony. 



As instances I may, among many others, mention the follow- 

 ing birds of New South Wales : — 



Pardalotus aifinis, 

 Lopholaemus antarcticus, 

 Podargus strigoides, 

 Artamus minor, 

 Campephaga leucomela, 



Myiagra plumbea, 

 Stictoptera bichenovii, 

 Tropidorliynchus comiculatus, 

 Sericulus melinus, 

 Ptilonorhynchus holosericeus. 



Of North Australian species we have : — 



Tanysiptera sylvia, 

 Todirhamphus pyrrhopygius, 

 Graucalus hypoleucus, 

 Campephaga karu *, 

 Piezorhynchus nitidus, 



* Also found in the neighbourhood of Brisbane.
