Another New Record for South Australia. 



(By F. E. Zeitz, R.A.O.U.) 

 — Contribution from the SjA. 'Museum. — 



Mr. J. Formlby, a resident of My lor called at my office 

 about the middle of January of this year, and described two 

 strange birds to me, which had recently made their appearance 

 in that district. As there are many extensive orchards in 

 that neighbourhood it was feared that these birds might take 

 to fruit-eating, and perhaps be the forerunners of a new pest 

 for the oc'hardists. According to the vague description given, 

 I showed Mr. Forniby the Australian Dollar Bird, but as he 

 could not satisfy himself that it was identical with the birds 

 he had seen, he shot one of them and forwarded it to the 

 Museum for identification. It proved to be a very young 

 male of the Australian Dollar Bird or , Boiler (Eurystomus 

 orientdlis paeiftcus) heavily in moult. It is paler and more 

 bluish below than Queensland and N.S. Wales specimens, 

 which character may be due to immaturity. 



The Museum Entomologist (Mr. A. M. Lea) examined the 

 stomach contents of which he reports as follows. — Head and 

 other fragments of Stag Beetle (Lamprinm varians); bits of two 

 large Stag Beetles (Tetralohus); bits of large Clerid Beetle 

 (Trogodendron fasciculatum) ; head of a large Ponerine Ant; 

 head of a Sand Wasp; many other fragments, mostly of 

 beetles. 



This record gives this species a still greater range, as it 

 was previously recorded from India, N.W. Australia, Northern 

 Territory, Queensland, N.S. Wales, and Victoria.
