214 Zoological Society :— 
The example of D. irroratus in the Gardens of the Zoological 
Society of Amsterdam was brought by a Dutch vessel from Albany, 
King George’s Sound. I have reason to believe that our specimen 
is from the same locality. As Mr. Bartlett’s original skin of D. 
irroratus was obtained in the interior of Southern Australia, the 
range of this Emeu must be supposed to extend over the western 
portion of Australia into the latter colony, where it probably inos- 
culates with D. Nove Hollandie*.

With regard to the Casuarius bicarunculatus, I am unable at pre- 
sent to give any particulars concerning its true habitat, though in 
all probability it is the representative of the Common Cassowary of 
Ceram (Casuarius galeatus) in one of the Molucca group or adjoin- 
ing islands. The specimen which we possess is still quite young. 
The casque is not developed. Except as regards the complete sepa- 
ration of the two neck-wattles, as indicated in the drawings now ex- 
hibited, of which fig. a represents the front view of the fore-neck 
* Two additional specimens of the Spotted Emeu (both immature) have since 
been received by the Society from Swan River. In this stage of plumage the 
bird is decidedly darker than its near ally, D. Nove Hollandie.
