Carter, Thomas. —One of the greatest living Australian Ornithologists, and a Memoir, 
Portrait and List of his papers is given in the Austral. Av. Rec., Vol. HI., pp. 167, et seq ,., 
1919. Bom April 6th, 1863. Many fine novelties collected by him have been described 
by North, such as Eremiornis carteri ; by A. J. Campbell, as Stipiturus ruficeps , etc., 
and by myself. Carter has described very few himself : Amytis varia in the Victorian 
Naturalist, Vol. XXV., and Climacteris rufa obscura in the Bull. Brit. Orn. Club, Vol. 
XXVII. He explored Dirk Hartog Island, Western Australia, rediscovering the 
two lost birds, M alums leucopterus and Malums textilis , and describing in the Bull. Brit. 
Om. Club, Vol. XXXVII., Galamanthus campestris liartogi, Stipiturus malachurus liartogi 
and Sericornis maculatus liartogi. He then wrote up an account of the Birds of Dirk 
Hartog Island and Peron Peninsula, published in the Ibis, 1917, pp. 564, et seq., in 
which I described Galamanthus campestris peroni, Oreoica cristata lloydi and Anthus 
australis liartogi. Since then more new forms have been found by him and still more 
may be anticipated.

systematic zoologist, to which reference must be continually made.

Catalogue of the Birds in the British Museum. —In this compendious work an attempt was 
made to give the generic and specific synonymy of every species, and thus the Catalogue 
constitutes the most important work of reference as regards ornithology yet completed. 
As, however, it is now just fifty years since it was initiated and nearly thirty since it 
was completed, it must be obvious that the results then achieved may need rectification 
in many instances. The exact dates of publication are not yet known, but I here 
give the Contents, Author, Preface date (which was intended for publication date) 
and Ascertained date when secured.
