144 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD [Vol. IL 



Part XXI. 1870. Geopelia tranquilla 



„ cuneata 

 Dendrocygna eytoni 

 ,, arcuata. 



There are only two new species included in this work, 

 Strix walleri and Ptilorhynchus rawnsleyi. The latter 

 was based on a hvbrid. 



In No. 3 of this journal I wrote upon " Diggles' 

 New Species of Australian Birds " (Vol. I., pp. 68-72, 

 1912), and identifying the forms introduced in one paper, 

 put on record that there were three other papers with 

 apparently seven new species still to be satisfactorily 

 disposed of. 



While in Brisbane, Australia, April 26th-May 2nd, 

 1914, I made inquiries about the " Transactions of the 

 Philosophical Society of Queensland," where Diggles' 

 papers appeared. 



Dr. John Shirley very kindly lent me what is con- 

 sidered a complete set of the papers as far as is known. 



Vol. I., if such it can be called, seems to consist of 

 certain articles appearing in the " Brisbane Guardian," 

 and then printed in octavo form, paged. Or, at least, 

 printed at the " Guardian " office. 



In the copy I have, the third article is " From the 

 ' Queensland Guardian,' October 18, 1864," and is an 

 account of the previous evening's meeting (Monday, 

 17th). 



Article 4. — ^Has the same except that the date is March 

 30th, 1866. 



Article 5.— June 2nd, 1866. 



Article 6. — " From the ' Queensland Daily Guardian,' " 

 February 21st, 1867, and is an account of the meeting 

 of the 15th February. 



Article 7.— The same. March 30th, 1867. 



Article 8. — The same. June 29th, 1867, and is an 

 account of the previous evening's meeting (Friday, 28th).
