 List July 



Lionel C. E. Gee, warden of goldfields at Tanami, in the 

 Northern Territory, who says : — ' I came across a very interesting 

 collector, a bird-catcher by business, and whose partner is now in 

 England with a consignment of birds. ... I had a long 

 conversation with him about the birds in this remote part of the 

 world. He kindly made out for me the enclosed list of the 

 birds he had noticed as occurring in this district, and I send it 

 to you, as I am sure your friends of the ornithological society 

 will be interested in it.' 



" I think many of the readers of T/ie Enui will be glad to sec 

 this list, which I send on to you for publication. On it you will 

 see is a note* by Mr. Gee, who takes a great interest in birds, 

 and has had opportunities of observing them in many distant 

 parts of South Australia and in the Northern Territory. When 

 at Arltunga, in the M'Donnell Ranges, he obtained, with great 

 trouble, some living specimens of the Alexandra Parrakeet, 

 which he brought to Adelaide and kept until shortly before his 

 departure for Tanami."
