AUSTRALIAN ORNITHOLOGISTS. 



In this periodical I have written about Diggles, one of the 

 least known of Australian ornithologists, and it is my intention 

 to get together information about all those who have assisted 

 in the advancement of the study of ornithology in Australia. 

 Most of the earlier workers have been dealt with in other 

 places, but I should like to give some account of those of the 

 present day. 



Three men, in the last thirty years, stand out most 

 prominently among amateurs as workers, men who through 

 their own exertions have made collecting trips into dangerous 

 and difficult country purely for the love of the science, and 

 have assisted in the clearing up of points hitherto doubtful. 

 They are Samuel Albert White, Thomas Carter and William 

 David Kerr Macgillivray.
