Hartlaub's records in Wiegmann's Archiv. are not reliable 

 in doubtful cases as instance : Bericht. des Jaiires 1850, 

 p. 57 : " Falcunculus Gouldii Caban. Bp. Consp., p. 365 

 (Catal. Mus. Heine, p. 66), Siidostl. NeuhoUand." 



Bonaparte's page 361 is dated " 4 Maii. 1850 " and Bona- 

 parte does not quote Cabanis' page but * the species as new, 

 writing " F. gouldi Caban. {jrontatus Gould) Austr. II., t. 79, 

 ex Austr. m. or." 



Cabanis has F. gouldi Nob. on p. 66, but in a footnote to 

 53 quotes Bonaparte's Consp. pag 320. 



Further, Hartlaub, p. 59, cites " Alauda clot hey Bp., p. 242 

 (1st eins mit Hierapterhina Cavaignacii Desm. 1851)." The 

 latter was published in Jan. 1851 and is included in the 1851 

 record, p. 30. 



It is obvious, therefore, that Hartlaub included data of 

 unpublished items in bis yearly accounts and this must always 

 be borne in mind while using his Records.

 work, various names as J. E. Gray, Owen, Gerard and James 

 being referred to in the Preface. 



Of great interest to Austrahan workers is the paragraph on 

 p. ii. of the Preface : " Many of the specimens now included 

 in tliis Volume, besides being of great rarity, are interesting 

 from the fact of their being the first of the kind brought to 

 this country ; amongst them may be included many of the 

 originals described and figured in ' White's Journal,' and in 

 the ' Zoology of New Holland,' and more especially those 

 presented to Mr. Hunter by Sir Joseph Banks in 1792, which
