doubt of its identity witli No. 92, and he must have examined 

 the drawing in its early days. 



WatHng's note : " About half the natural size. The light 

 tint round the eye is not plumage but a kind of fleshy excrescence, 

 resembling in substance the gills of a cock or hen."

 Latham first described this bird as the Blue-eared Grakle 

 (Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., p. 130), from a specimen in General Davies' 

 collection. He afterwards named it Gracula cyanotis (Ind. Orn., 

 Suppl., p. xxix.). He does not seem to have recognised that 

 his " Blue-cheeked Bee-eater " was the same bird, and therefore 

 Merops cyanops (Lath.) = Entomyza cyanotis (Lath.). 



Watling's note : " Two thirds the natural size. Native name 

 Der-ro-ga7ig."

 Manorhina garrula, Gadow, Cat. B., ix., p. 260. 

 The original description was taken from a specimen in General 

 ^Davies' collection. Latham does not seem to have recognised 

 Watling's drawings as belonging to the same species, and bestowed 

 a new name, cyanops, upon the bird. 



Watling's note : " One half the natural size. This chattering 

 l)iid often gives notice to the Kangaroo when the sportsmen are 

 after them. It is pretty numerous, and always at war with 

 others of the feathered kind. The yellow behind the eye is bare 

 of feathers, and has just the appearance of yellow Morocco 

 leather. The general likeness is good." 

 No. 97. Chattering Bee-eater.

AVatling's note: "Natural size. The iris is doubtful. A 

 chattering bird and often prevents the sportsman from getting a 

 shot at the Potrigorang."
