Birds. L19 



(Jard.), but not a very correct representation, as the black on the 

 head is more extended than in any of the .Museum specimens. 

 No. 60. Variable Crow, Lath., (Ion. Syn., Suj.pl. ii.. p. 1 17. 

 Corvus versicolor, Lath., Ind. Orn., Suppl., p. xxv. 

 Strepera cuneicaudata (Vieill.), Sharpe, Cat. B., iii., p. 60. 

 This is certainly the same bird as Cracticus cuneicaudatu 

 Vieillot, 1810, so that Latham's name versicolor takes precedence. 

 I have, by mistake, omitted Latham's reference in the " Catalogue 

 of Birds," but G. R. Gray seems to have correctly identified the 

 species, of which Watling's picture is the type. 



His note is : " This representation is about one-quarter the 

 size of the bird the drawing was taken from, and the only one 

 yet seen. I had the skin, therefore the iris is doubtful ; however, 

 the general likeness is very good."' 



No. 61. Blue-and-white Crow, Lath., Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., 

 p. 117. 

 Corvus cyanoleucus, Lath., Ind. Orn., Suppl., p. xxv. 

 Grallina picata (Lath.), Sharpe, Cat. B., iii., p. 272 (1877). 

 Latham does not seem to have recognised these drawings as 

 representing his "Pied Grakle " (Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., p. 130), 

 since he gave a new name. The synonymy in the " Catalogue of 

 Birds " is not complete, as I have omitted these references of 

 Latham's. 



Watling's note is : " One-half the natural size. Native name 

 Mur-re-gan." 



No. 62. Blue-and-white Crow, Lath. 



Watling gives the following note : " Natural size. April. 

 Native name Karroolc, a rare bird." 



No. 63. Black-and-white Crow, Lath., Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., 

 p. 117. 

 Corvus melanoleucus, Lath., Ind. Orn. Suppl., p. xxv. 

 Watling's note is : " Half the natural size. May." 

 I am unable to identify this drawing satisfactorily. It is 

 evidently a black Strepera, which might be S. gracuUna, but it 

 does not quite agree with the specimens, as it is figured with a 

 white rump and white throat, which features are not to be found 

 in S. fjraculina. 



No. 64. Pacific Roller, Lath., Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., p. 371. 

 Coracias pacifica, Lath., Ind. Orn., Suppl., p. xxv. 

 Kunjstomus australis (Swains.), Sharpe, Cat. Ii.. xvii, 

 p. 36. 

 Watling's note is as follows : " Half the size of the bird was
