73. De Vis on new Fossil Birds from Australia. 



[A Contribution to the Knowledge of the Extinct Avifauna of Aus- 

 tralia. By C. W. De Vis. Ann. Queensl. Mus. no. 6, pp. 1-25.] 



Mr. De Vis describes a collection (of about 200 specimens 

 of bones) made by Prof. Gregory during his examination 

 of the deposits round Lake Eyre in 1902, and believed by 

 him to be of Pleiocene or early Pleistocene age. About 108 

 of these shewed characters sufficient for identification, the 

 others were fragmentary. 



The new species now described and figured from this 

 series are : Taphaetus lacertosus, Astura'etus furcillatus, and 

 Baza gracilis (new Falconines) ; Leucosarcia pravisa (a 

 new Pigeon) ; Xenorhynchas nanus, Xenorhynchopsis tibialis, 

 and X. minor (new Storks) ; Ibis conditus (a new Ibis) ; 

 Archceocycnus lacustris and Chenopis nanus (new Swans) ;
