348 MR. E. P. RAMSAY ON THE BIRDS OF [Apr. 17, 
268. HypROCHELIDON FLUVIATILIS. 
Hydrochelidon fluviatilis, Gould, Handbk. B. Austr, ii. p. 406. 
This species I have obtained from the Richmond river and Rock- 
ingham Bay ; it was also tolerably plentiful at the time of my visit 
in December 1870, at Rockhampton, on the Fitzroy river, and on the 
Mary river. 
269. GELOCHELIDON MACROTARSA. 
Gelochelidon macrotarsa, Gould, Handb. B. Austr. ii. p. 403. 
I found this fine Tern on the Brisbane river in 1873-4, and 
also obtained a fine pair of adult specimens from the Clarence 
river. I met with it at Rockingham Bay, at the mouths of the 
Herbert river, and also at a considerable distance up the stream, 
about 20 miles from the mouth. It is still rare in Australian col- 
lections. 
270. ANOUS STOLIDUS. 
Anous stolidus, Gould, Handbk. B. Austr. ii. p. 413. 
Common on all parts of the east coast. 
271. DiomEDEA MELANOPHRYS. 
Diomedea melanophrys, Gould, Handbk. B. Austr. ii. p. 438. 
Met with only on one occasion off the coast near Gladstone, Port 
Curtiss. 
272. PELECANUS CONSPICILLATUS. 
Pelecanus conspicillatus, Gould, Handbk. B. Austr. ii. p. 486. 
I noticed this fine species breeding in great numbers on a flat- 
topped rocky island off the coast near Cleveland Bay. Numbers 
were soaring over the island, some close to the surface, others 
sitting quite motionless on the ground, the neck held upright, with 
the head and bill at right angles to it, giving the group quite a 
grotesque appearance. 
273. PHALACROCORAX NOV/%-HOLLANDIE. 
Phalacrocorax nove-hollandie, Gould, Handbk. B. Austr. ii. 
p- 488. 
This fine species is common all along the eastern coast ; it ascends 
the river to a considerable distance, and seems as much at home in 
fresh as in salt water. 
274. PHALACROCORAX MELANOLEUCUS. 
Phalacrocorax melanoleucus, Gould, Handbk. B. Austr. ii. 
p- 493. 
275, PHALACROCORAX STICTOCEPHALUS. 
Phalacrocorax stictocephalus, Gould, Handbk. B. Austr. ii. p.495, 
Both common species, frequenting the bays and inlets of the sea
