The plates were issued with the livraisons, those of birds appearing before the text 
relating to them was published. The names which occur in Australian literature from 
this source are few, the authors, Lesson and Garnot, publishing the species previously 
in Ferussac’s Bull. Sci. Nat. They are quoted in connection with the author’s names 
(q.v.).

List of birds which frequent the upper portion of the River Goulbum in the district 
of Port Phillip, New South Wales (=Victoria).

Coues, Elliott. —Born 1842. Died 1899. Probably the most brilliant all-round orni¬ 
thologist that has yet lived, and owing to the specialisation now necessary will never be 
rivalled. The pioneer of Check Lists, “ Keys,” Trinomial treatment of Subspecies, his 
Bibliographic knowledge and his accuracy have never been surpassed. His preface to 
his “ Key 55 was published separately in England, under the title “ Handbook of Field 
and General Ornithology,” in London, 8vo, in 1890, and this alone would mark Coues as 
a genius. 
A series of papers (his first essays) published in the Proceedings of the Academy 
of Natural Sciences must be referred to even at this date for useful work. These are : 
A Monograph of the Tringese of North x4merica, 1861, pp. 170-205, sign. July, August. 
Heteropygia, Delopygia. 
A Review of the Terns of North America, 1862, pp. 535-559, sign. December. 
On the Lestris richardsoni of Swainson ; with a Critical Review of the Sub-family 
Lestridina*, 1863, pp. 121-138, sign. May. 
Buphagus. 
A Critical Review of the Family Procellariidse : Part I., embracing the Procellarise 
or Stormy Petrels, 1864, pp. 72-91, sign. March-April; Part II., embracing the Puffineas, 
1864, pp. 116-144, sign. April; Part III., embracing the Fulmarese, 1866, pp. 25-33, 
sign. March; Part IV., embracing the iEstrelatae and the Prioneae, 1866, pp. 134-172, 
sign. May; and Part V., embracing the Diomedeinae and the Halodrominae, with a

In the Bulletin of the U.S. National Museum, No. 2, pp. 1-47, Nov. 1875, appeared : 
Contributions to the Natural History of Kerguelen Island by J. H. Kidder. 
Part I. Ornithology by Elliott Coues. 
Zaprium. 
Many years later in the Auk, Yol. VIII., p. 115, Jan. 1891, Coues proposed Sceno- 
pceetes (for Ramsay’s Scenopceus ), which is the only name he gave to a purely Australian 
bird. As an Appendix to an essay on the Birds of the Colorado Valley, Coues published 
a Bibliography of American Ornithology (U.S. Geol. Survey Territories, Miscell. 
Publ., No. 11, pp. 568-784, (after October 31st) 1878, following with a second and third 
instalment, Bulletin No. 2, (September 6th) 1879, and Bulletin No. 4, (Sept. 30th) 1880. 
A fourth instalment (on British Birds) was printed in the Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., Vol. II., 
pp. 359-482 1880.
