and white underparts from all the other Wattled Lapwings, except from its close ally 

 L. personatus. The black collar at the back of the neck prevents any confusion with the 

 latter species. 



Latham's Wattled Lapwing is a resident in the eastern half of Australia, from Geographi- 

 Rockingham Bay to Tasmania. Its alleged occurrence in Celebes (Schlegel, Mus. Pays- t i on# 

 Bas, Cursores, p. 67) requires confirmation. 



It is very closely allied to L. personatus, and more distantly to L. malabaricus. 



Young in first plumage, with black markings on the upper parts and the remains of Plumage of 

 down on the plumage, have nevertheless the wattles and the black nuchal collar well younS- 

 developed.
