Hall, The Birds of Eyre Peninsula, S.A. 



r Emu 



L 1st Jan. 



As far as I could observe, with the time at my disposal (one 

 morning with the collections in the South Australian Museum), 

 there are no species to record as new. 



I am indebted to Doctors Angove and Home, Capt. White, 

 Messrs. Mattingley, Mellor, Zietz, Leach, Barrett, Burrell, and 

 Crompton for indicating or procuring specimens for identifica- 

 tion for this, the first list of the birds in the southern portion of 

 Eyre Peninsula. 



The nomenclature is that of the Handlist Birds Brit. Mus., 

 1899 (R. B. Sharpe),* while that of the Brit. Mus. Cat. (1874- 

 1895) is given in parentheses where it differs from that of the 

 Handlist. The geographical distribution as indicated in the 

 map refers only to the areas 9, 7, 4, because of their immediate 

 connection with area 6. 



The numbering of the list is that of the " Key to the Birds of 

 Australia" (1906), and provides an easy reference to a short 

 description of the species.
