This was killed in India, and is the Australian bird Elseyornis melanops (Vieillot) 
•which otherwise has always been regarded as a stationary bird, and this is the only 
extra-limital occurrence known.

Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. —This verj^ important Journal to Indian and 
Palzearctic workers must also be referred to by Australian ornithologists, as Hodgson 
and Blyth wrote many papers in it wherein Australian species -were named or compared. 
The exact dates of publication are not yet known to me. 
Journal fur Ornithologie. — Begun by Cabanis in 1853 and six hefte in the first year, soon 
became very irregular in its appearance and no reliance can be placed upon the 
ostensible dates. For details refer to Birds of Australia, Vol. VII., p. 455 and 475, 
where a large number of inaccuracies pointed out to me by Dr. Richmond are given. 
Fortunately there is not much that concerns us and the facts are given under authors' 
names.

Kaup, Johann Jacob. —Great German Zoologist, born at Darmstadt in 1803. Died 1873. 
In charge of the Museum there later. Pioneer of genus splitting in conjunction with the 
philosophic study of zoology ; his theories may have been impossible, but it is better to 
have some object in bird study than none at all. Recent German ornithologists have 
gone to the other extreme, finding nothing worthy of study higher than subspecies, 
but here again, better some object than none at all.

This is full of new names and is notable from the fact that when G. R. Gray met with 
it after the issue of the second edition of the List of the Genera of Birds, he was so 
impressed with its importance that he prepared and published an Appendix. I possess 
the historical copy used by Gray.
