THE VICTORIAN NATURALIST. 83 



397. Acanthochcera carunculata. This wattle bird is not found 

 in Tasmania. 



403 and 423. Philemon citreogularis and Myzantha garrula. 

 Both have been taken in the Dawson district, where they breed. 



422. Melithreptus latior. In a former list Dr. Ramsay gave 

 Lake Eyre as a habitat of this species, yet it is not shown for 

 the interior on his new list. 



428. Dicoeum hirundinaceimi. The Swallow Dicaeum has not 

 been taken in Tasmania, but has been recorded for West Aus- 

 tralia. Dr. Ramsay has reversed localities. 



430. Zosterops coerulescens is common to Tasmania. I noted 

 numbers on the north part of the island. See manual "Nest 

 and Eggs of Australian Birds," pages 40 and 29. 



440. Climacteris erythrops. There are mounted in the 

 National Museum skins of this tree-creeper taken in Victoria. 



467. Cacatua galerita. This familiar cockatoo has been taken 

 in the Dawson district, also its eggs. 



474. Calyptorhynehus banksii may be recorded for Victoria 

 and South Australia. 



490 and 760. Platycercus pennaniii, etc. In 1885 I showed 

 Dr. Ramsay a Platycercus I took at Cardwell (Rockingham 

 Bay.) On account of its smaller proportions and other details,, 

 and the different vocality of the flock of birds out, of which I 

 shot a pair, I took it to be different to the well-known pen- 

 nantii, and remarked so to the doctor at the time. With this 

 he did not agree. Since, however, he has described a precisely 

 similar bird from the same district as Platycercus pennantii 

 (variety) nigrescens. If it be really a sub-species then P. pen- 

 nantii does not exist in the Rockingham Bay district as shown 

 by Dr. Ramsay. 



492. Platycercus flaviventris, to my knowledge, has not been 

 taken in Victoria nor in South Australia. 



511. Euphenia petrophila. Many rock parrakeets have been 

 taken near Adelaide, and Gould says : — " I have received speci- 

 mens of this bird from Port Lincoln, in South Australia." Yet 

 Dr. Ramsay only debits the bird to West Australia. 



514. Melopsittacus undulatus. I noted this species on the 

 Fitzroy River, Queensland. 



516. Pezoportis occidentalis. This parrot was taken by the late 

 Mr. F. W. Andrews in the interior, and shown before the Royal 

 Society of South Australia. 



520. Trichoglossus chlorolepidotus. I do not think this lorikeet 

 has ever been observed south of the Murray. 



533. Lopholaimus antarcticus. The top-knot pigeon is Vic- 

 torian. January, 1887, Mr. W. Kershaw, a member of this 

 Club saw one of these large birds shot from a number that 

 were about the scrub near the Lakes' entrance, Gippsland. 



550. Macropygia phasianella has not been taken in Victoria.
