Birds. 121 



This is, in my opinion, the Harmonic Thrush of Latham, (Jen, 

 Syn., Suppl. ii., p. 182 (= Tardus harmonious, Lath., Ind. Orn., 

 Suppl., p. xli.).* 



Watling's note is as follows : " Natural size, from Port 

 Jackson. A kind of Thrush by its note." 



No. 71. Brown Grakle, Latham [MS.]; id., Gen. Hist, B., 

 iii., p. 170 (1822). 

 = Megalurus cruralis, Vigors and Horsfield, Trans. Linn. 



Soc, xv., p. 228 (1826). 

 Cinclorhamphus cruralis, Sharpe, Cat. B., vii., p. 498. 

 Watling's note : " This drawing is about one third the natural 

 size. New South Wales." 



No. 72. Blue-headed Cuckow, Lath., Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., 

 p. 137. 

 Cuculus cyanocephalus, Lath., Ind. Orn., Suppl., p. xxx. 

 Eudynamis cyanoeephala, Shelley, Cat. B., xix., p. 324. 

 This drawing is the type of the species, and is a very good 

 representation of the Australian Koel. Watling's note is : "This 

 is the only bird hitherto found in the country of New South 

 Wales. Another of a similar form and magnitude but of a glossy 

 black colour was taken at the same time, but whether of a 

 different genus or the male and female of this species Mr. White 

 was not able to determine. In make and character it resembles 

 the Anomalous Hornbill ; the colour is more brown." Latham 

 gives the substance of the above note, but gives credit for it to 

 Mr. Lambert. 



No. 73. Pheasant Cuckow, Lath., Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., p. 137. 

 Cuculus phasianus, Lath., Ind. Orn., Suppl., p. xxx. 

 Centropus phasianus, Shelley, Cat. B., xix., p. 340. 

 Again, this drawing is the type of the species. Watling's 

 note: "One half the natural size. Native name Tem-mincJc. 

 The New South Wales Pheasant. The only one seen as yet." 

 No. 74. Tippet Cuckow, Lath., Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., p. 138. 

 Cuculus pallidal us, Lath., Ind. Orn., Suppl., p. xxx. 

 Misocalius palliolatus, Shelley, Cat. B., xix.. p. l'79. 

 This drawing is the type of Cuculus palliolatus of Latham. 

 Watling's note : " One half the natural size. A rare bird." 

 No. 75. Fan-tailed Cuckow, Lath., Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., 

 p. 138, pi. cxxvi. 

 Cuculus Jfabelliformis, Lath., Ind. Orn., Suppl.. p. xxx. 

 Cacomantis flabelliformis, Shelley, Cat. B., xix., p. 2GG. 

 * Cf. Sharpe, Cat. Birds, iii., p. 290.
