Puffinus sphenurus replaces P- chlororhynchus in Mathews' 

 Hand-list. That Gould was right in his determination is proved 

 hy observations made by Mr. D. Le Souef last spring (1910), 

 on the bird in the flesh. "Bill greyish-black. Feet and legs 

 blackish on outside, pinkish white on inside and on web, whitish 

 underneath, toes white, small amount of dark shading on the 

 skin just above the toes. White spot under each eye." 



Grey v. White Goshawks. Mr. H. G. Barnard, writing from 

 Cape York, says that he observed a pure white male bird, 

 answering to Astur novce-hollandice, mating with a grey female 

 bird, answering to A. cinereus. Both birds were shot at the nest, 

 so that there could be no doubt of the observation. It seems 

 almost certain that the two species are really identical. 



Trichoglossiis colei, Cole's Lorikeet. Mr. D. Le Souef has

 blue. Total length 11 inches, wing 5.75, tail 4.5, culmen .75,

 Australia and Tasmania, but breeds in the North.
