Correspondence. 



To the Editors of " The Emu." 

 Sirs, — After perusing Mr. Gregory M. Mathews' " A List of the 

 Birds of Austraha," one cannot but be struck with the lack of 

 knowledge regarding the geographical distribution of many of our 

 species. I append a list of some of the birds with whose habitat 

 I am most conversant, together with a few corrections or omissions 

 that are noticeable. Perhaps other Austrahans will help in this 

 direction. 



Page 9. — Turnix m.aculosa- melanota. Include Victoria (Northern). 

 Page 18. — Phaps chalcoptera chalcoptera. Include Tasmania. 

 Page 91. — Nettion gibberifrons is omitted, and this species must be 

 listed. Perhaps Dr. W. Macgillivray would give some information 

 about this bird.
