All these species but two, it will be seen, come from the north- 

 ern part of Australia, and especially from the Cape- York district, 

 in Queensland, the youngest of our southern colonies. Strix 

 walleri, Diggles {cf. Ibis, 1868, p. 118), proves, on a compari- 

 son of specimens, to be the well-known Indian species S. Candida, 

 Tickell, and is accordingly here figured under that name. Re- 

 ferring to a suggestion formerly made in this Journal (Ibis, 

 1868, p. 348) as to the possibility of Australian examples attri- 

 buted to Pitta mackloti being specifically distinct from the New- 

 Guinea bird of that name, Mr. Gould says that they are un- 

 doubtedly inseparable ; and thus Mr. KrefFt's proposed P. dig- 

 glesi (Ibis, 1869, pp. 349, 350) falls to the ground. Ptilono- 

 rhynchus rawnsleyi (cf. Ibis, 1868, p. 348), though figured, is 

 considered by Mr. Gould to be very possibly a hybrid between 

 P. holosericeus and Sericulus melinus. The Eopsaltria, Ptilotis 

 cockerelli, the Sitella, and the Gallinula arc four new and fine 

 species recently described by him in the ' Annals and Magazine
