(Scyihrops Novcb Sollandi(s) should be added as a specimen is a 

 now in the Museum which was recently shot at Clarence 

 Plains. 



The sombre Swamp Quail {Synoicus sordidus) of which 

 we possess one specimen shot in Tasmania must be added 

 to the order Basores, family Ferdicidce. 



In the order Qrallatores, family Ardeidce, the Australian 

 Egret^ {Herodias Alhd) and the Nankeen Night Heron 

 {Nycticorax Caledonicus) have been omitted, both birds are 

 frequently found in Tasmania. The Land Rail {Rallus 

 pectoralis) must also be added as it is constantly met with. 



To the family Anatidoe of the order Natatores must be added 

 the Maned Goose {ClilamydocJien jubata) many pairs of which 

 made their appearance on the upper part of the Derwent 

 during the summer of 1866 and 1867. 



As to fresh water fish, Mr. Krefft has asked me to furnish 

 him with any forms besides those mentioned in his list, with 

 which I am acquainted, and this I shall have great pleasure in 

 doing during the coming summer and will place the list of 

 names obtained from him before the Society. 



I know of ten well marked indigenous species in addition to 

 the four mentioned by Mr. Krefft ; of these ten two belong to 

 the Genus Galaxias, one to the Perches, and two to the 

 Lampreys, but of the affinities of the remainder I am ignorant. 



Although Mr. Krefft will not yet give us credit for the 

 Salmon, he may assuredly add to his list the Trout (Salmo 

 farid) the Tench {Tinea Vulgaris) and the Perch {Ferca 

 fiuviatilis) all of which now abound in various localities. 



Of the invertebrates to the class Insecta and order 

 LepidoiJtera a large number of species will have to be added as 

 our moths are numerous, many of the forms being limited 

 to small localities.
