Ohs. The distal end of a humerus was originally figured by Mr. De Vis as tbat 
of a Fulica, but it proves to be more properly referable to the above genus. In Fulica, 
Gallmula, and Porphyria, the autero-iuterior side of the trochlea is emarginated, but in 
Tribonyx it is entire.

Ohs. This name is now restricted, Mr. De Vis informs me, to the proximal end 
of a humerus, formerly associated under the same name with the distal end of another 
like bone.

Ohs. The first intimation of the occurrence of a 8truthious Bird in the Post- 
Tertiary deposits of Queensland is due to the late Rev. W. B. Clarke, who announced * 
the discovery, in 1869, of a femur twelve inches in length, found on 
sinking a well on the Peak Downs, between Lord’s Table Mountain and the heads 
of Theresa Creek, and near the track from Clermont to Broadsound. The bone 
was found in a deposit of drift pebbles and boulders one hundred and fifty feet
