In the more recently published " Tabular List of Australian Birds," by Dr. E. P. Ramsay, some changes 

 have been made in the nomenclature. Thus : The bird hitherto known as Ninox boobook is regarded as 

 distinct from that species, and is described as N. albaria, Ramsay ; Myiagra plumbea becomes M. rubccula, 

 Latham ; Cuculus inornatus becomes Caeomantis pallidus, Latham ; C. fiabelliformis is now known as 

 Cacomantis fiabelliformis, Latham ; Chalcites lucidus, Gml., is a synonym of C. plagosus, Latham ; Pufflnus 

 brevicaudus, Brandt, is now referred to the genus Nectris; Phceton phcenicurus, Gould, is now P. rubri- 

 cauda, Bodd.; and lastly, Jlalhis pectoralis, is now entered as Hypotamidict philippensis, Linn. The 

 following additional birds are mentioned -.—Circus Goxddii, Bp.; MajaquetU Goiddii, Hutton ; Graculus 

 inelanoleucus, Vieillot ; and Himantopus leucocephalus.
