Art, XXVI. A List of Birds which frequent the upper portion 
of the River Ooulburn, in the district of Port Phillip , New 
South Wales. By Mr. John Cotton, C.M.Z.S. 
[The following list is furnished by Mr. Cotton as only an approxi¬ 
mation to a complete catalogue. No doubt several species have 
not yet come under his observation, but the list, as far as it goes, 
will he believes be found to be tolerably correct. We shall be 
glad to receive similar lists from other parts of Australia.— Ed. 
Tasmanian Journal."]
