The Emu. Report oi the Twelfth Congress of the Royal Australasian 

 Ornithologists' Union with the address of the new president, Mr. John 

 White Mellor. 



Mr. Mellor and Capt . S. A. White also present an account of a 'Camp- 

 out ' held on Cape Barren and Flinders Islands at the close of the session. 

 Sixty-five species were observed, and Falco mclonotus, Majalurus Jlindcrsi 

 and Scricornis Jlindcrsi are described as new from the latter island. The 

 authors appear to be in a quandary as to how to name subspecies, since 

 resolutions were adopted by the Congress abolishing trinomials in the 

 official Check List. So while binomial names are used in each of the above 

 descriptions, the first is termed a ' sp. nov.' while the others are "subsp. 

 now' although of what they are subspecies we are not informed. 



Other novelties named in the same way are Cacomantis lincatus sp. nov. 

 by Alan P. Dodd, from Nelson: Amytornis mcrrotsyi sp. nov. by J. W.
