List of birds from northern Australia, New Zealand, 

 Southern Pacific and Southern Atlantic Oceans. 



By Conrad Fristedt. 



[Communicated 1894, September 12, by F. A. Smitt.] 



During my stay in Australia I spent the most tiine on the 

 coast of Cape York peninsula in the neighbourhood of the small 

 township of Cardwell for the purpose of studying the aboriginals 

 of Queensland. Meantime I collected sonie birdskins and other 

 zoological specimens, and will now give a list of those birds as 

 well as of some others I collected in New Zealand and the Pacific 

 and the Atlantic Oceans. In Australia I got my collections 

 from the country west and north from Cardwell and in New 

 Zealand I only visited the North Island, 



All the specimens are now belonging to the zoological State- 

 museum at Stockholm.
