ISrp, 7] THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD 145 



Article 9. — Is an account of the annual meeting, 

 December 21st, 1869, in which articles 10 and 6 and 

 ^©thers, not here, are mentioned.

Article 11. — Read on Thursday, February 22nd, 1872. 



Article 12. — ^Read on Thursday, March 28th, 1872. 



This appears to end Vol. I. Whether they are all the 

 papers published, I do not know. 



Vol. II. was issued as a bound volume in 1878. The 

 President's address was dated 1877. 



The first article in this volume is a paper by Diggles, 

 read 6th November, 1873, and at the end it is printed : 

 *' This paper was originally printed in the ' Brisbane 

 Courier.' " 



Article 2, by the same author, dated 29th January, 

 1874, at the end is printed : " This paper was originally 

 printed in the ' Brisbane Telegraph.' " 



Article 3, by the same author, dated 28th May, 1874. 

 These three papers are paged consecutively, and are 

 issued in the bound volume, and separately. 



Other articles were read up to October 25th, 1877, 

 when volume II. ends. Vol. III. went from 1878 to 1882, 

 when the pubhcation lapsed. The Society was, in 1883, 

 merged into the Royal Society of Queensland, who^e 

 first pubhcation appeared in 1884. 



Queensland was separated from New South Wales in 

 1859, and the Philosophical Society started a few years 

 a,fter this. 



These three papers by Diggles are the three missing 

 ones referred to at the beginning of this paper. 



The first, dated 6th November, 1873, begins : — 



" Mr. J. T. Cockerell, since his return from the North, 

 has been kind enough to place in my hands two new and 

 interesting birds for the purpose of having them figured 

 and described." 



The first Diggles called " M. striatus," though noting 

 it was not a t5rpical Milvus. The description is good, 

 and Ramsay's suggestion that it was Henicopemis 

 Ibngicauda Gamot, and came from the Aru Islands,
