REMARKS OS FOREGOING LIST OF AUSTRALIAN LIKDS. 35 



Arses telescopthalmus, has been recorded from Cape York, (P.L.8., N.S.W., Vol. 11., p. 37.5) 

 but this I believe to be an error, and that the specimen in question came from the South Coast of 



New Guinea. 



Climacteris leucophcea. 



Specimens recently received from the Cairns District, Queensland, are of a smaller race than the 

 southern forms. 



Ptilopus superbus, and Lopiiolaimus antarcticus recently recorded 1)y Capt. Legge from 

 Tasmania, can only be looked upon as stragglers, or escaped cage-birds. 



Casuarius australis, Wall., has been erroneously recorded from Cape York, I cannot find any 

 recent account of its occurrence north of Cooktown. The late Mr. Carron who accompanied 

 ■Kennedy's Expedition, informed me that the type was obtained near Rockingham Bay. 



"While these sheets were passing through the press, many species have been added to the collection 

 in the Australian Museum, particularly from the vicinity of Cairns and the Bellenden-Ker Ranges in 

 Queensland. These districts may be looked upon as ornithologically belonging to the Rockingham 

 Bay district. 



The asterisk opposite Macropyyia 2Jhc(-sicmeIla has been inadvertantly omitted from column No. 3, 

 p. 18. 



CEdicnemus grallarius. Specimens received from the Gulf Districts and North- West Australia 

 have the taro-meta tarsus fully an inch longer than the New South Wales examples, this however 

 can hardly be looked on as a specific destinction, but Ornithologists may distinguisli the north- 

 western variety as (Z/. lonyipes.
