THE BIRDS OF AUSTRALIA. 
Comptes Rendus Acad. Sci. Paris. 
Bonaparte’s articles in this journal were separately issued with additions andrepaged, 
three or four different papers being sometimes lumped together and continuously 
paged. These separates are more familiar to bird students than the Comptes Rendus 
itself.

Then in No. 18 for May 1st, p. 800, is recorded : “M. le Prince Ch. Bonaparte fait 
hommage a 1’ Academie d’un exemplaire de l’opuscule qu’il vient de publier sous le titre 
de : Notes ornithologiques sur les collections rapportees en 1853 par M. A . Delattre et 
classification parallelique des Passereaux chanteurs. Ces Notes, qui ont ete lues et 
inserees par extrait les Comptes Rendus de T Academic, offrent dans cette nouvelle 
publication plusieurs additions a ce qui avait ete precedemment communique.” 
The separate thus explained is the one usually referred to and is sometimes quoted 
as “ Notes Delattre.” There are ninety-five pages in the tract, but Cams and Engelmann 
write “ 194,” which I thinkis merety a slip. In this place the type of Lichmera is named, 
and the new genera Symposiachrus and Cissomela occur as well as Meliphaga vittata 
ex Cuvier.
