I'AGE 



Species 24. — P. regina, Swainson, replaces P. swainsoni, Gould. 

 9. Genus XIII. — Omit. Lamprotreron is not separable from 



Ptilinopus. 

 Genus XVI. — Lopholaimus is the original spelling. 

 Species 30A. — Add L. minor, Mathews. 

 Species 31. — C. norfokicnsis, Latham, replaces C. leitconiela, 



Temminck. 



10. Species 36A. — Add C. longirostris, Gould, with which C. 



occidenialis. North, is synonymous. 



11. Species 45A. — Add L. leiicogaster, Gould. 



12. Species 47. — L. melanolenca, Latham, replaces L. picata, 



Latham. 

 Genus XXVIIL— Omit. 

 Genus XXX.— Omit. 



Neither Hypotce-nidia nor Rallina is separable from 



Eulabeorriis, to which genus must therefore be referred 



Species 48, 49, 50, and 51. 



13. Genus XXXIII. — Omit. I do not consider the genus Polio- 



linmas recognizable, therefore refer Species 56 to Porzana. 



Genus XXX VI. — Omit. The characters upon which this 

 genus are founded are not of sufficient value to ensure its 

 retention, therefore I refer Species No. 59 to Tribonyx. 



Genus XXXVII. — The authority for Gallinula is Tunstall. 



Genus XXXVIII. — The authority for Porphyrio is Bonnaterre. 



14. Genus XXXIX. and Species 63. — Omit. 

 Genus XLI. — Podiccps is the original spelling. 



Genus XLI I. — Omit. I do not consider the retention of this 

 division necessary. Should it be deemed advisable, then 

 Dytes, Kaup, must be used in place of Lophathyia, 

 Kaup. 



Species 68. — Omit forsteri. Gray, as not yet definitely re- 

 corded from Australia, but replace with patagonica. 

 Miller. 



15. Genus XLIV. and Species 69. — Omit. Not yet recorded from 



Australia. 

 Genus XLV. — Penguimis, Brunnich, replaces Catarr hades, 



Brisson. 

 Genus XLVIII. — Omit. Not separable from Genus XLVII. 



— Occanites. 

 lb. Genus LI. — The authority for Piiffinus is Cuvier. 

 Species 78. — A lery doubtful Australian record. 

 Species 84. — P. hrevicandiis, Gould, replaces P. ieniiirosfns, 



Temminck. 

 Genus LI I. — Omit. Not separable, in my opinion, from 



Genus LV. 

 Genus LIII. and Species 86. — Omit. I can trace no deiinite 



record yet for Australia. 

 17. Genus LV. — Procellaria, Linne, replaces Majaqiiciis, Reichen- 



bach. and hereto should be referred Species 85. 

 Genus LVI. — .Estrelata is the original spelling.
