1875.] BIRDS FROM QUEENSLAND. 579 
7. FALCO HYPOLEUCUS. 
This exceedingly scarce bird was met with by Inspector Robert 
Johnstone, Esq., of the Herbert river, on the tablelands due west 
of Cardwell, and on the ranges thereabouts; J. B. White, Esq., of 
Springsure, due west inland from Rockhampton, likewise noticed it, 
and was fortunate enough to obtain several specimens. The young 
differ slightly from the adults, and, like others of the tribe, are occa- 
sionally mottled with brown on leaving the nest. 
8. FaLco LUNULATUS. 
One female, shot on Herbert river, belongs to the large light- 
coloured variety of this species. 
9. FaLco sUBNIGER. 
I am indebted to J. B. White, Esq., of Springsure, for much in- 
formation respecting our Australian Falconide and for a specimen of 
the present species, procured by that gentleman in the Barkoo district. 
Mr. R. Johnstone also noticed it on the tablelands inland, about 40 
miles from Cardwell, and on the Sea-view range. 
10. LrucosP1zA NOV&-HOLLANDLE. 
Not a common species; only two or three specimens obtained; they 
are larger than our New-South-Wales birds, and barred with longi- 
tudinal blotches of dull brown on the breast and flanks; the backs of 
all were brown. Sex uncertain. No purely white birds seen. 
11. AsTUR APPROXIMANS. 
Adults and young obtained. ‘This species seems more plentiful 
than the Accipiter. 
12. ACcIPITER TORQUATUS. 
Several observed on the margins of the scrubs; only one shot (male). 
13. ELANUS AXILLARIS. 
Apparently scarce ; only shot one specimen. 
14. MiLvus IsuRUwS. 
I met with this rare species only on one occasion ; there is a fine 
specimen in the Australian Museum, shot by Mr. Masters on the 
Burnet river, Queensland. 
15. MiLvus aFFINIs. 
Common everywhere at times, and found chiefly on the open 
grass-lands in the neighbourhood of the Herbert and Mackay rivers. 
16. Baza suBCRISTATA. 
Usually found in pairs about the margins of the scrubs and bushes. 
It is a harmless, inoffensive species, feeding chiefly on insects and their 
larvee, or occasionally on dead animals.
