a Australia ( T . Robinson) 1842. — b (tail) N. Australia (J. 
Gould ) 1850. 
b is labelled ? M. alberti , but as that species has no rufous marks 
on the outer tail feathers (well shewn in this specimen) I conclude 
that it should be referred to M. superba .

Menura alberti, Gould, P. L. S. ii. p. 67 ; B. Austr. Suppl. 
a (tail) 
A tail of a Menura without rufous marks on the outer feathers but 
with both upper and under coverts strongly tinged with that colour. 
Both characters are found in M. alberti .
