118 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD [Vol. IV, 



The figure on page 61 is of this species, but the description 

 does not exactly agree, as if this were only the drawing while 

 Latham had described from a bird skin or preserved specimen. 



p. 130. Pied Gr(akle). Gracula picata, p. xxix. 

 " Inhabits New South Wales, with the last species." 

 The figure on page 33 appears to have been the basis of this 

 description, it agrees so well. 



p. 130. Blue-eared Gr(akle). Gracula cyanotis, 

 p. xxix. 

 " Inhabits New Holkmd ; brought from Botany Bay. 

 I am obliged to General Davies for the above description." 

 On page 43 the figure of this bird is excellent, and the 

 description could have been prepared from it. 

 p. 150. Wattled B(ee) E(ater). 

 " At General Davies' s is one of this species which 

 differs. ..." 



The details cited apply fairly well to the painting on p. 63. 



p. 152. Hooded B(ee) E(ater). Merops cucullatus, 

 p. xxxiii. 

 " Inhabits New Holland. In the collection of General 

 Davies." 



The figure on page 61 agrees well, but not exactly, with 

 the description of this species. 



p. 155. Variegated B(ee) E(ater). Merops ornatus, 



p. XXXV. 



" This is said to be the inale bird. I met with it in the 

 collection of General Davies." 



On page 119 is a splendid painting of this species. 



p. 156*. White-fronted B(ee) E(ater). Merops 

 albifrons, p. xxxv. 



" I am obhged to General Davies, for the above descrip- 

 tions, having made drawings of them from specimens in the 

 possession of Captain King, which were brought from Port 

 Jackson, in Neiv South Wales.' 



Unfortunately there is no painting which can be allotted 

 to this, as yet, unidentified species, but we include this note
