BIBLIOGRAPHY. 
The most important journal to Australian ornithologists, as it contains nearly all 
the field observations of every Australian naturalist for the last twenty years. 
Many new forms have also been described in its pages by A. J. Campbell, A. G. 
Campbell, E. Ashby, H. L. White, S. A. White, J. Mellor, F. E. Wilson, A. F. B. Hull, 
etc., etc., and these will be given under the names of the writers. 
My Handlist of the Birds of Australasia was published as a supplementary part to 
Vol. VII. in January, 1908. 
Ency. Meth. —The short abbreviation often quoted for the Encyclopedic Methodique, of 
which the bird portion in the Tableau Encycl. Method, is very important and has been 
referred to under Bonnaterre and Vieillot. 
I have given the dates of publication in connection with Bonnaterre ( q.v .), but the 
essentials may be here added : Pages i-lxxx., 1790 ; pp. lxxxi.-xcviii., 1-192, 1791 ; 
pp. 193-320, 1792 ; pp. 321-528, 1820, B.F., Jan. 6th, 1821 ; pp. 529-848, July 6th, 
1822, and 849-1,460, July 26th, 1823. 
The latter part by Vieillot is practically a reprint of the articles issued some years 
before in the Nouv. Diet. d’Hist. Nat. {q.v.), and though references have commonly 
been given to the Tabl. Ency. Meth., very few new names appear, nearly all having a 
direct reference given to the Nouv. Diet. (nouv. ed.). Bonnaterre published here the 
names Coturnix, Turnix , Ostrelaga, Procellaria latirostris, Procellaria melanura and 
Anser novcehollandice. 
Encyclopedia Londinensis .—24 vols., 4to, London, 1796-1829. Sherborn states “ 1,678 
parts, originally weekly, but disturbed at Vol. XX., which spread over 1823-25” ; the 
Birds apparently by John Wilkes the encyclopaedist, who latinized many of Vaillant’s 
vernaculars. 
Cassin gave a list of the bird names proposed and made some sarcastic remarks upon 
the neglect of an Englishman’s writings by English ornithologists nearly sixty years ago, 
viz., in the Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philad., 1867 (Dec ), pp 212 et seq ., and I drew 
attention to this in the Austral Av. Bee., Vol. IV., pp. 143-4, 1921, but still no rectifica¬ 
tion of the names has been made. 
The only name that concerns us is Motacilla fimbriata (Vol. XVI.).

In this List Ewing was assisted by Gould, who stayed with Ewing viien in Tasmania. 
Ewing later furnished “ List of the Birds of Tasmania ” to Stoney’s “ Residence in 
Tasmania ” published in 1856, where it appears as Appendix G., pp. 303-311, and 169 
species are listed.
