THE BIRDS OF AUSTRALIA. 
If the measurements quoted for S. arguta are not above the average, 
then that species has the distinction of being the largest of its genus. The 
Tasmanian form of S. fuliginosa , from the measurements given, shows a wing 
longer by 1 *2 inches than the King Island specimen ; the former may have 
been confused with S. arguta , or it may be a grade between one species and 
the other.” 
I named this King Island form 
Strepera fuliginosa colei. 
“ Differs from S. f. fuliginosa in being brownish not black, and in having 
the white bars to the primaries hardly noticeable ” ; the majority of the 
specimens are brownish and I have never seen the “ stainless black and 
deep grey ” bird from King Island.
