a Australia (T. Robinson] 1842. b (tail) N. Australia (J. 

 Gould) 1850. 



b is labelled ? M. alberti, but as that species has no rufous marks 

 on the outer tail feathers (well shewn in this specimen) I conclude 

 that it should be referred to M. superba. 



1446. Menura alberti.

a (tail) 



A tail of a Menura without rufous marks on the outer feathers but 

 with both upper and under coverts strongly tinged with that colour. 

 Both characters are found in M. alberti.
