 well achanced. A sub-committee, consisting of Dr. D'Ombrain 

 and ]\Iessrs. P>asset Hull, A. vS. I,c Souef, and N. Cayley are 

 arranging details in Sydney. It is proposed that interstate dele- 

 gates should leave Adelaide on Monday, 3rd October, and Mel- 

 liourne and Brisbane on 4th October. The Congress begins at 

 2.30 on 5th October. It will continue for several sessions. 

 Lectures, excursions, and photographic exhibitions are proposed.

 and Ellerslie, near Ca[)e Havvke, for the annual camp-out in the 

 big scrubs. Taree may be left on return on 18th October, or 

 earlier to suit the visitor's convenience. Members intending to 

 take part are requested to communicate with the State Secretary 

 as soon as convenient. Members desiring to have business 

 brought before the congress should communicate also at an early 

 date with the State Secretary. Any notices of motion or nomi- 

 nation of office-bearers should also be sent to their State Secre- 

 tary as soon as possible. 



SECOND EDITION OF THE CHECK-LIST. 



The second edition of the Check-list has now been ])ractically 

 completed, and shortly, it is hoped, through the generosity of 

 Messrs. Angus and Robertson — the publishers of the forthcoming 

 Cayley's "Birds of Australia" — to make available 50 copies of 

 the [proposed list. Comments and criticism are invited, and the 

 Check-list will be finalised at the Sydney Congress in October. 

 Some names finally accepted by the Check-list Committee and 

 by Messrs. Mathews and Iredale are used in this issue. Where 

 a difference exists, the name according to the Official Check-list 

 has been used. 



Principles accepted by the lirilish and American committees 

 will be observed here in the finalisation of the list. B.O.U. and 

 A.O.U. names will be accepted for birds common to the Aus- 

 tr;ilian. P>ritish and .\nierican lists.
