“ Bushman, Old. 5 ’—Bush Wanderings of a Naturalist, 8vo, London, 1861. 
This little work contains a lot of information of the early natural history of Victoria, 
and the list of birds at the end provides a name Leipoa penicillata. The “ Old Bush¬ 
man ” was Horace William Wheelwright. 
Bynoe, Benjamin. —One of the officers of H.M.S. “ Beagle,” 1837-43, w r ho collected many 
new species described by Gould, as Podargus phalcenoides, Pachycephala lanioides , Par da- 
lotus aropygialis , Amadina annulosa, Amadina aciiticciuda y Myzantha lutea , Tropidor- 
hynchus argenticeps , Pomatorhimcs rubeculus , Ptilotis flavescens, Myzomela erythrocephala, 
Sittellct leucoptera , Hemipodius castanotus , Emblema picta , Geophaps plumifera , Halcyon 
sordidus , Climacteris melanura , Donacola flaviprynina, Entomophila (?) rufogularis, 
Pachycephala melanura , Myzomela pectoralis and Cracticus argenteus. The locality 
generally given was “ North-west Coast Australia,” but this included Port Essington 
as Gould explained (Handb., Vol. I., p. 419, 1865) “is contained in the collection 
formed by Mr. Bynoe at Port Essington/’ while on p. 428 is written “ Bynoe, procured 
it on the banks of the Victoria River.” Stokes has recorded that Emblema picta was 
shot on Depuch’s Island. Gould gave the locality of Pachycephala melanura as 
“ Northern Coasts,” and then recorded Lamprotreron superbus as collected by Bynoe 
on Booby Island, North Coast. 
After noting that the officers of the “ Beagle,” Captain Stokes, Lieut. Emery and 
B. Bynoe had favoured him with many novelties, Gould noted Ptilotis flava and 
Petrophassa albipennis as submitted by one of the officers of the “ Beagle,” only, 
w ithout naming which. 
It may be noted that when Gould admitted that the unique type of Emblema picta 
had been stolen in 1846 with some other birds, no further information of the loss was 
ever published.

This w r ork w T as begun in 1850 and w T as slowly progressing when Cabanis, noting that 
Bonaparte was dating his MS., adopted the idea and signatured his work also with 
dates. These dates, as with Bonaparte, were accepted as dates of publication which 
they were not, and the first volume was published sometime after Oct. 23rd, 1851, the 
wrapper bearing the date 1850-1851 ; then Heine w r as associated in the production of 
the succeeding three volumes, the authorship being then Cabanis and Heine. Vol. II., 
title-page 1859-60, was issued in 1860, after January 20th ; Vol. III., 1860, after 
November 1st,’and Vol. IV., 1864, after December 30th, 1863, although title-page reads- 
1862-63. 
The new names in the first volume are Cheramosca , Rhipidura preissi , Sauloprocta , 
Pomatostomusy Ptenoedus , Oreocincla heinei , Poodytes , Geobasileus, Pnigocichla, Bulestes , 
Cyrtostomus, Lichenostomus with L. occidentalism Lichmera , Anellobia , Zonceginthus , 
uPgintha , Lichnotentha, Ailur(edits and Brachyprorus ; in the second volume Sauropatis,. 
Cosmarops and Coloburis y and in the fourth Heteroscenes } with H. occidentalism Ololygon , 
Lamprococcyx (Misocalius) and Cuculus cantor. 
The confusion through the interchange of MSS. by Cabanis, Bonaparte and Reichen- 
bach has been discussed in the Austral Av. Rec., Vol. V., pp. 12-17, 1922. The data 
in connection with the dates of publication are given in the Birds Austr., VII., p. 448.
