102 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD [Vol. III. 



was enthusiastic, and the more he did the more he wanted to 

 do. Hence he overworked himself, and an illness in 1875 

 was succeeded by death on March 21st, 1880, at the age of 

 sixty-three. 



Diggles' fame will stand on his work called the " Ornithology 

 of Australia," the contents of which were detailed in this place 

 Vol. II., p. 137 et seq., Jan. 28, 1915. These items were 

 recovered from the Zoological Record, as I had seen no copy in 

 the original parts. My friend, Capt. S. A. White, immediately 

 furnished me with details of the parts from his copy in that 

 condition. These showed the matter previously given to 

 need correction, and these were carefully added by my friend. 

 Since then I have acquired a copy in parts so here give the 

 contents of the parts in the order as published.
