 smaller bill and shorter wing.

 M. diemenensis : culmen 0*6 ; wing 2'9 inches.

Mr. Gr. M. Mathews also remarked that in a small col- 

 lection of bird-skins from Tasmania, procured by Mr. James 

 Taylor between 1872 and 1878, he had found a skin of 

 Meliphaga phrygia, Shaw. The collector's field-notes, which 

 he had read, seemed to afford ample proof that the locality 

 given was the correct one.
