THE BIRDS OF AUSTRALIA. 
Caley, George. — According to the British Museum account, this man was sent out by Sir 
Joseph Banks to collect botanical specimens in New South Wales. He was born about 
1770 and died in 1829. 
His collection of birds with the notes came into the possession of the Linnean Society 
of London and formed the basis of the famous report furnished by Vigors and Horsfield 
in the 15th volume of that Society’s Transactions. Only half the collection was there 
treated, and Caley’s MS. notes were said to be in the Linnean Society’s Library. I was 
desirous of getting a sight of the other half of the notes, but search at the library has 
failed to trace them. The majority of the new birds described by Vigors and Horsfield 
(q.v.) were collected by Caley. 
Campbell, Archibald James. —Born February 18th, 1853. The most famous living 
Australian Oologist, wdiose works are bey'ond praise. 
Beginning with a series of articles in the Southern Science Record, he published in 
1883 a little booklet, Oology of Australian Birds, and then in 1901 : 
Nests and Eggs of Australian Birds, 2 vols, 8vo, Melbourne (before April 4th), with 
coloured plates. 
Malurus whitei and JEgintha minor are named. 
Since then many new f onus have been named, only one or two previously. Thus in 
the Proc. Roy. Soc. Victoria, Vol. VII., 1895, he had named Gymnorldna dorsalis and 
Arses terraeregince. In the Victorian Naturalist, Vol. XV., Stipiturus ruficeps ; Vol. XVL, 
Galamanthus mibiginosis , Ptilotis car ter i, Acantliagenys flavacantlms and Vol. XVII., 
Malurus edouardi , and in the Ibis, 1901, Malurus elizabethce. In the Emu he has named 
Halcyon westralasianus (Vol I.), Malurus whitei (Vol. I.), Micrceca brunneicauda (Vol. II.), 
Acanthiza magnirostris and A. rufifrons (Vol. II.), Melithreptus carpentariana (Vol. IV.), 
Ptilopus minutus (Vol V.), Stipiturus mallee (Vol. VIII.), Pardalotus pallida (Vol. VIII.), 
Lacustroica alfredi (Vol. IX.), Falcunculus whitei (Vol. X.), Eopsaltria hilli (Vol. X.), 
Halcyon barnardi (Vol. X.), Ptilotis planasi (Vol. X.), Erythrotriorchis rufotibia (Vol. X.), 
Stipiturus westernensis (Vol. XI.), Sericornis halmaturina (Vol. XL), Pseudogerygone 
jacksoni (Vol. XI.), Ptilotis subchrysops , P. carpentariensis y and Ptilonorhyiiehus minor 
(Vol. XII.), Eopsaltria coomooboolaroo (Vol. XII.), Ryanornis (error only) (Vol. XVIIL), 
and Cinclosoma alisteri nullarborensis (Vol. XXI.). 
With Capt. S. A. White he named Zosierops chlorocephalus (Vol. X.), and with Kershaw 
Amytornis rufa (Vol. XII.), and with others he was responsible for the name 
Subsmicrornis (Vol. XII.). 
Campbell -was editor of the Emu for many years, and many interesting articles from 
his pen otherwise occur therein. 
Campbell, Archibald G.—Unfortunately for Australian ornithology A. G. Campbell, the 
son of the preceding, dropped the study of the science after contributing a couple 
of the most thoughtful papers written up to that date, but has now again returned, 
with good results.
