The expedition was fitted out by the writer for four 

 months in the interior. The chief object in view was ornitho- 

 logical research, and to assist Mr. G. M. Mathews, of Eng- 

 land, in his great work, "The Birds of Australia," now going 

 through the press. The writer felt that there must be more 

 work to be done amongst the birds of the interior, and in 

 this he has not been disappointed, as the following notes will 

 show, there being many additions and corrections to former 

 lists. 



Apart from ornithology every spare moment was spent in 

 collecting reptiles, mammals, fish, insects, etc., etc., and I 

 have to thank those gentlemen most heartily who have worked 

 out their several branches of science, thus helping to make 

 the record of my labours of greater value. The whole of the 

 collection made, with the exception of the birds, I have 

 donated to the Adelaide Museum.
