On specimen {b) Sir George Duff Dunbar has the following 

 interesting notes: " The Abor name for this bird is ' Pajuk.' It 

 appears in their mythology as one of the earlier mates of Tani, the 

 first man, who married the creatures of the forest from the leech 

 upwards in search for a wife. This bird possessed the objection- 

 able habits of the Harpy which dissolved this particular partner- 

 ship. At last the Sun gave him a woman. The Hill Miris are 

 known to have a similar legend.
