32. CyPSELUS TERR£-REGIN#, Ramsay, P. Z. 8. 1874, p. 601. 
I met with this interesting species upon several occasions. Their 
flight is remarkably swift, and resembles that of the Spine-tailed 
Swallow (C. caudacuta) ; their actions are also similar. Very diffi- 
cult to procure. 
33. HrrUNDO FRONTALIS. 
This species seems to visit all parts of Australia; I noticed no dif- 
ference between the individuals from the Herbert river and those in 
New South Wales. 
34. LAGENOPLASTES ARIEL. 
4 
35. HyLOCHELIDON NIGRICANS. 
I found both species assembled together in large numbers at Upper 
Herbert in April; they were evidently preparing for migration. 
36. MrERops ORNATUS. 
Common everywhere during April in immense numbers, adults 
and the young of the year evidently preparing for their annual mi- 
gration. 
37. EuRYSTOMUS PACIFICUS. 
Plentiful about the township of Cardwell and elsewhere. 
38. DacELo GIGas. s, 
Not so common as the next species ; only two or three pairs no- 
ticed. Their different note at once distinguishes them even at a great 
distance. 
39. DAcELO LEACHII. 
Plentiful and easily procured when not wanted! The furthest 
south I have noticed this species was about the Mary and Burnet 
rivers ; but I have received specimens said to have been shot at To- 
woomba, some distance inland from Brisbane. 
40. TopIRAMPHUS SANCTUS. 
This species was not plentiful; a few specimens shot, but 
unfortunately in the moult, were slightly smaller than the New-South- 
Wales birds. 
41. TopIRAMPHUS PYRRHOPYGIUS. 
I give this species on the authority of Inspector R. Johnstone, 
who observed it about 50 miles inland from the coast; it has a very 
extensive range of habitat. In December 1869 it visited Dobroyde, 
near Sydney. 
42. ToDIRAMPHUS SORDIDUS. 
This species is by no means rare ; but usually inhabits the man- 
grove-swamps and margins of the rivers near the mouth, where they 
are not easily obtained.
