THE BIRDS OE AUSTRALIA. 
Jardine, William (Sir). —Born 1800. Died 1874. Great British Ornithologist whose 
Naturalists’ Library (q.v.) is still well known, and whose Illustrations of Ornithology 
with Selby are full of novelty. 
Edinb. Journ. Nat. Geogr. Science (n.s.), Vol. III., p. 209-212, 1831. 
Descriptions of new or little known species of Birds. 
Graucalus tenuirostris. 
Illustrations of Ornithology, 4to, Edinburgh. 
Two series were published, and Sherborn published an account of his results in the 
Ibis, April 1894, and then corrected the second series in the Ibis, 1899, p. 483. I have 
published further items which practically complete the second series in the Birds Austr., 
Vol. VII., p. 475, 1919. I therefore herewith give the facts as at present known: First 
series. Part i., pis. 1-16 with text, Feb. 1827; pt. n., pis. 17-32, June 1827; pt. m., 
pis. 33-50, April 1828 ; pt. iv., pis. 51-65, Nov. 1828 ; pt. v., pis. 66-81, July 1829; 
pt. vi., pis. 82-100, Aug. 1830 ; pt. vn., pis. 101-111, Dec. 1830, end of Vol. II.; pt. 
vm., pis. 112-120, Oct. 1831 ; pt. ix., pi. 111. (damaged and delayed), pis. 121-135, 
Feb. 1833 ; pt. xi., pis. 136-151, Dec. 1835, end of Vol. III. Second series. Part i., 
pis. 1-6, Feb. 11th, 1837 ; pt. 2, pis. 7-12, May 27th, 1837 ; pt. 3, pis. 13-17, Dec. 1st, 
1837 ; pt. 4, pis. 18-23, June 30th, 1838 ; pt. 5, pis. 2L-29, March 23rd, 1839; pt. 6, 
pis. 30-35, Feb. 22nd, 1840 ; pt. 7, pis. 36-41, July 25th, 1840 ; pt. 8, pis. 42-47, 1842; 
pt. 9, pis. 47-53, June 15th, 1843. 
The following names are quoted from this place : Colmviba smithii, Podiceps polio - 
cephalus, Charadrius bicinctus, Tringa australis, Circus assimilis , Ibis australis, Ibis 
latlmmi, Anas tadornoides , Trichoglossus swainsonii, Mgotheles lunulatus, Halcyon 
macleayii, Cypselus vittatus, Acanthiza albifrons , Colluricincla rectirostris , Sphecotheres 
viresce7is and Ptilonorhynchus nuchalis. 
Gould definitely stated that “ Collurincicla selbii ” was given by Jardine in 
Jardine and Selby’s Ill. Orn., Vol. I., note to text of pi. 71.” In the copies so 
far examined no such name has been found, but I have lately seen the name 
mentioned in Ewing’s List {q.v.), so that it may have appeared on a page afterwards 
suppressed. 
Contributions to Ornithology, 8vo, Edinburgh, 5 vols., 1849-52. 
Issued in parts with no guide to discrimination at first sight, but details are now 
being worked out by Mr. N. B. Kinnear of the British Museum by means of Jardine’s 
own correspondence. Will be ready before this is published. 
Jarocki, Felix Pawel. —Polish Zoologist whose work was entirely overlooked until 
Sherborn investigated it, and the results as to Ornithology were published in the Austral 
Av. Bee., Vol. III., pp. 142-150, 1918, as to the Zoologiia, and in Vol. V., pp. 20-21, 
1922, as to the Spis Ptakow, 1819. 
Zoologiia, 6 vols., 8vo, Warzsaw, 1821-1838. 
Vol. II., Aves, contains new generic names and I quote Chceneirhynchus and 
Celuro. 
Spis Ptakow, 1819. 
Does not contain any Australian names. 
Jeffreys, Charles, [Lieut.). —Geographical and Descriptive Delineations of Van Dieman’s 
Land, 1820. Contains information of the Tasmanian Emu. 
Jennings, James. —Ornithologia, or The Birds, a poem in two parts, 8vo, London, “ 1828,” 
published Nov. 7th, 1827. Second Edition, end 1829. 
Full details of this curious little work are given in the Austral Av. Rec., Vol. IV., 
pp 172-175, 1922. It is important as including a sketch of the second edition of 
Latham’s Index Ornithologicus, which was never published. This was taken from 
Latham’s MS. which is now preserved in the Newton Library at Cambridge. 
Psittacus niger, Casuarius diemenianus.
