taken from. It is a rare bird, the third only that we have seen ; 

 the colours are much too dull. 



This drawing is the type of Eurystomus pacificus, which name 

 definitely takes precedence over the name of australis of Swain- 

 son. In the " Catalogue of Birds " I was not certain as to the 

 identity of Coracias pacifica of Latham, owing, doubtless, to the 

 description having been taken from a drawing.

 Coracias strejpera, Lath., Ind. Orn., i., p. 173. 

 Strepera graculina (White), Sharpe, Cat. B., iii., p. 57. 



This drawing represents a black-and-white Strepera with 

 a yellow eye, and is undoubtedly taken from a specimen of 

 S. graculina. 



The following note is given by Watling : " One half the 

 natural size. June."

 Coracias tibicen, Lath., Ind. Orn., Suppl., p. xxvii. 

 Gymnorhina tibicen, Gaclow, Cat. B., viii., p. 91. 



This figure is the type of Gymnorhina tibicen (Lath.). Wat- 

 ling's note is : " Natural size. Native name Iarra-won-nang. 

 This bird has a soft note not unlike the sound of a well-tuned 

 flute. It is a bird of prey." Latham, as usual, has published the 

 original note, without acknowledgment, and has twisted it into 

 ' ' It preys often on small birds," which is not what Watling 

 wrote.

Another figure of Gymnorhina tibicen. 



Watling's note : " Three-fourths of its natural size. Native 

 name Dar-rung-a. Gracula." 



No. 69. Green Grakle, Lath., Suppl. ii., p. 129. See No. 67. 



A larger drawing of the Green Oriole (Oriolus viridis). Latham 

 does not seem to have recognised the identity of Nos. 67 and 69. 

 Watling's note says simply : " Natural size. A rare bird.' 

 Latham writes : " Inhabits New Holland, where it is said to be 

 a rare bird."
