166 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD [Vol. III. 



The majority of the novelties procured by Captain and Mrs. 

 White were presented to me for use in the preparation of my 

 work, and very many forms have been named from his dis- 

 coveries. Though primarily an ornithologist, Captain White 

 always collected in every branch of natural history, and so did 

 Mrs. White, so that outside ornithology many species have 

 been named in their honour, both in the animal and vegetable 

 world. 



Captain White has contributed many articles to the Emu, 

 and has also published several booklets dealing with his 

 expeditions, as " Ornithologists at Warunda Creek," "Into 

 the Dead Heart," " Into the Ear North- West, " " The Cruise 

 of the Avocet," " In the Far North-East," " Ooldea, on the 

 East- West Railway," etc., etc. ; while a series of papers have 

 appeared in the Transactions of the Royal Society of South 

 Australia, and in the South Australian Ornithologist. 



Captain White has sent me numerous excellent field notes 

 for incorporation in my work, many of which have already 

 appeared.
