BIEDS or AUSTRALIA, 



APPENDIX. 



In the Introduction to the present Handbook (vol. i. p. 6) 

 I have stated that I should confine my remarks " to the birds 

 of the Australian Continent, Tasmania, and those Islands of 

 the Great Barrier Reef vrhich properly belong to Australia," 

 and this I have accordingly done in the preceding pages ; but 

 I now think it will be well to append , an account of the 

 species pertaining to other countries, about twenty-four in 

 number, which have been figured in the folio edition and the 

 three supplementary parts which have since been issued, as I 

 believe that the interest of the present volumes will thereby 

 be enhanced to those who possess the illustrated work. The 

 species alluded to comprise the curious Bidunculiis strigirostris, 

 Semioptera wallacei, Strigops habroptilus, and a few others 

 from New Zealand, Norfolk and Lord Howe's Islands, &c. 

 These will be arranged in the same order as those which have 

 preceded them. The names connected with these additional 

 species will be found in their proper place in the general 

 Index.
