152 Zoology. 



Watling says : " Natural size. April. Native name Ton-na- 

 rang. Not a very common bird in New South Wales." 



No. 280. Norfolk Island Petrel, Lath., Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii. 

 p. 334. 

 Puffinus chlororhynchus (Less.), Salvin, Cat. B., xxv. 

 p. 372. 

 This figure is, in my opinion, intended to represent Puffinus 

 chlororhynchus, Less., to which it bears a very strong resemblance. 

 If I am correct in this supposition, the " Norfolk Island Petrel " 

 of Latham cannot be referred to the (Estrelata neglecta (Schl.) 

 as has been suggested in the Catalogue of Birds (xxv., p. 412). 



Watling wi'ites : " Norfolk Island Petrel or the Mutton bird, 

 in full feather." 



No. 281. Norfolk Island or Fuliginous Petrel, Lath., Gen. 



Syn., Suppl. ii., p. 334. 

 This is the figure of a young bird of the same species as 

 No. 280. 



Watling says : " Norfolk Island Petrel or Mutton bird, in 

 second or middle state." 



No. 282. Fuliginous Petrel, Lath., Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., 

 p. 334. 

 Puffinus tenuirostris (Temm.), Salvin, Cat. B., xxv., p. 388. 

 This figure, which in general appearance is darker than Nos. 

 280 and 281, with dark bill and feet, I am inclined to think is 

 intended for Puffinus tenuirostris (Temm.). 

 Watling says : " A Norfolk Island bird." 

 No. 283. Black Swan, Lath., Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., p. 343. 

 Anas atrata, Lath., Ind. Orn., ii., p. 834. 

 Chenopsis atrata (Lath.), Salvad., Cat. B., xxvii., p. 4L 

 Watling says : " The Black Swan, the size of an English 

 swan. Native name Mulgo." 



No. 284. Black and White Goose, Lath., Gen. Syn., Suppl. 

 ii., p. 344. 

 Anas melanoleuca, Lath., Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., p. Ixix. 

 Ajiseranus semipalmata (Lath.), Salvad., Cat. B., xxvii.,

 Native name Bur-ra-yen-ne."

 p. 358. 

 Anas jubata, Lath., Ind. Orn., Suppl., p. Ixix.
