The only name that concerns us appeared in the first livraison, Pcephila mirabilis. 
This name was also given in the Revue Zool. for Dec. 1845, and was based on Hombron 
and Jacquinot’s plate which was not published (with a vernacular only) until January 
1845, yet through some extraordinary lapsus this name was for a long time preferred 
to Gould’s A. goiddice, which was published in July 1844.

De Vis, Charles W. — Curator of the Queensland Museum, who died comparatively recently. 
Contributed a very important series of papers on New Guinea Birds, which appeared 
in a most inaccessible place, the Annual Reports of the administration of British New 
Guinea from 1889 onwards. As far as 1 know one only of these papers has been reprinted 
in the Ibis, 1891, pp. 25-41. De Vis was not a working ornithologist but a general 
zoologist, and the descriptions are very incomplete though the species are good. 
The only names in these Reports that occur in Australian literature are 
Micr&ca griseoceps in the 1894 report and Ibis (Falcinellus) humeralis in the 1896-97 
Report.
