Note. — Sericornis frontalis. — Compared with those of the 

 mainland in general appearance, the Kent Group specimens 

 possess a lighter colouring of the upper surface, likewise the 

 reddish or brownish tinge on the rump is not so conspicuous, 

 while the bill is decidedly larger. Dimensions in centimetres — 

 total length, 12 ; wing, 6 ; tail, 5 ; bill, 1.8 ; tarsi, 2.45 ; irides 

 pearly on yellowish white. Two specimens were shot on Erith 

 Island. 



It should be mentioned that, in the same drift with the fossil 

 jaw-bone of the Old Man Kangaroo and the more recent bones of 

 the wallaby, numerous bones of apparently several species of birds, 

 most probably sea-fowl, were found.
