Austranthtjs, gen. nov. Type, Anthus australis, 

 Vieillot. 



p. 3. The type of Casuarius johnsonii Miiller, came 

 from Gowrie Creek in Rockingham Bay, Queensland. 



The specimens I have from further north, about 

 Cairns, differ in the head coloration. I have given 

 this fully in the Austral Avian Record, Vol. I., 

 pp. 66-67, 1912. 



Birds from Gowrie Creek no doubt have the head 

 coloration as given by Gould in the Supplement to 

 the Birds of Austraha. I conclude his head is drawn 

 from a typical bird.
