a specimen from the north coast, and I believe it does not inhabit 
that part of the country ; its true habitat appears to be the interior, 
for it is never found near the coast. 
363. Cacatua sanguinea, Gould Vol. V. PL 3. 
This species has been found on the north coast, and was observed 
by Captain Sturt at the Depot in Central Australia ; we may hence 
infer that its range extends over all the intermediate country. 
364. Cacatua Eos . . . Vol. V. PI. 4. 
This fine bird, which is strictly Australian, is distributed over all 
parts of the interior of the country, and is as abundant on the north 
as it is on the south coast ; it was also observed by Captain Sturt 
at the Depot. 
The specimens from the north are of a larger size and have the 
orbits more denuded than those from the south. 
Genus Licmetis. 
The two species forming the genus Licmetis are not only con- 
fined to Australia, but, so far as we yet know, to the southern por- 
tions of that continent, one inhabiting the western and the other 
the eastern part of the country. Their singularly formed bill being 
admirably adapted for procuring their food on the ground, they are 
more terrestrial in their habits than the other members of the 
family.

p. 175. 
Lores scarlet ; general plumage white ; the base of the feathers 
of the head and front of the neck scarlet, showing through and giving 
those parts a stained appearance ; the basal half of the inner webs 
of the primaries, the inner webs of all the other feathers of the wing, 
and the inner webs of the tail-feathers beautiful brimstone-yellow ; 
naked space round the eye greenish blue ; irides light brown ; bill 
white ; feet dull olive-grey. 
Inhabits Western Australia. 
Differs from L. nasicus in being of a much larger size ; but the 
colouring being similar, I have not thought it necessary to figure it. 
Genus Nestor. 
Of this genus two species are known, one of which is exclusively 
confined to Phillip Island, and the other to New Zealand ; they are 
evidently the remains of a race, all the other members of which are 
probably extinct. 
367. Nestor productus, Gould Vol. V. PI. 6. 
The few examples of this species that may exist in captivity are 
all that survive, none remaining on Phillip Island, their native 
habitat.
