APPENDIX. 
In dividing the work up like this I have put in the main List all the birds that can properly be called 
Australian, and in the Appendix all those that so far are only recorded as visitors. 
Austroturnix olivii should be in its place on p. 6. 
No. 120. Oharadrius cvucullatus Vieillot 1818. I use this name and not C. rubricollis Gmelin 1789. The 
latter name is founded on a mixture of this bird and the Red-necked Phalarope. 
No. 151. Orthorliamphus magnirostris (Vieillot 1818). The type was collected by Peron, and Australia was 
designated as its locality, but this was an error, as Peron did not visit any part of Australia where this bird 
occurs. I now designate Timor as the place where Peron collected the species. 
In the Appendix, of those records where a skin has been preserved, or the occurrence is authentic, no 
explanation is necessary. 
Fregetta tropica (Gould). Although claimed as an Australian bird, Gould never collected a skin in Australian 
waters. Gould told the late Dr. Sharpe that all Petrels he saw across the “ Line ” he considered Australian, and 
so several were added to the Australian List, but have never been seen near enough to the mainland to be so 
considered. His “ melanogaster ” came from near the Islands of St. Paul and Amsterdam. The only authentic 
record of this bird in Australia is my own in the Austral Avian Record, Vol. III., p. 96, 1917. It should have 
been recorded before, but the facts were not known, the bird being considered on the Australian List. The skin 
I recorded was picked up in New South Wales in May 1875, and Procellaria parkinsoni was collected at the same 
place and time. 
Priofinm cinereus (Gmelin). I do not know of any authentic skins of this species that were taken in Australian 
waters. Although Gould said he killed specimens, none are in his collection and we must wait till others are 
caught. 
Diomedea chionoptera Salvin. The supposed occurrence of this bird in West Australia, with a tin plate round 
its neck, is certainly not acceptable. The only reliable record is my own in the Austral Avian Record, Vol. II., 
p. 125, 1915. 
Thalassogeron chrysostoma (Forster). This is another bird that Gould said he saw in Australian waters, 
but no specimens are in his collection. Perhaps he made a mistake in his locality. If so, I designate as type 
locality of Diomedea culminata Gould 1843, the Cape Seas. If this be correct, Gould’s name becomes a synonym 
of Forster’s bird. 
There are only two authentic records, both from West Australia, one figured by me in the Birds of Australia 
and one recorded by Alexander in Emu, Vol. XIX., p. 59, 1919. 
Coprotheres pomarinus (Temminck). Although considered Australian for some time, the record was a 
Cockerell bird, and as all or most of these records are unreliable they have been ruled out. The only authentic 
record is my own in the Austral Avian Record, Vol. III., p. 72, 1917. 
Bartramia longicauda and Ardea cinerea are too unreliable even to be put in the Appendix. 
Fregata minor (Gmelin). Although on the Australian List, the only authentic record is that of Alexander, 
Emu, Vol. XVII., p. 238, 1918 
The following rejected species need explanation. 
Fregettornis grallarius (Vieillot). Although figured by Gould as Australian, the birds he had were collected 
off Cape Agulhas. 
The bird figured by me in Vol. II. has since proved to have had a made up locality on the label. I have 
never seen or heard of an authentic Australian-killed specimen. 
Procellaria cequinoctialis Linne. The specimen mentioned when I added this to the Australian List has 
since proved to have an unreliable label. 
Procellaria conspicillata Gould. Also claimed as an Australian bird by Gould. His type came from “ Atlantic 
and Pacific Oceans.” I have never seen or heard of an authentic occurrence of this bird in Australian waters. 
Diomedea epomophora Lesson ; Phcebetria palpebrata (Forster) ; Procelstema cerulea (Bennett ) ; Oygis alba 
(Sparrman). These four birds have not occurred in Australian waters. 
Tringa ocrophus Linne. This name was added in error for Rhyacophilus glareola (Linne), This explanation is 
necesary. 
Spatula clypeata (Linne) and Butastur teesa (Franklin) are too unreliable even to be put in the Appendix.
