THE BIRDS OF AUSTRALIA. 
A paper which contains no new names is entitled: 
A Short Account of the Trip to Cape Sidmouth and Back, in the Governor Blackall, 
S.S., by Mr. S. Diggles, Brisbane. Read before the Queensland Philosophical 
Society, on Thursday, February 22nd, 1872. 
Some New and Rare Species of Birds. Read before the Queensland Philosophical 
Society by Mr. S. Diggles, on 3rd August, 1876. 
(This paper was never included in Vol. II., why I do not understand. Was it ever 
published ?) 
These are Poephila atropygialis and Acanthiza flavigasta , sent by Mr. Gulliver from 
Normanton, Guclus brisbanensis and Lamprococcyx modesta from near Brisbane. 
I still want the exact date of publication of these papers.
