P R E F A C E . H a v i n g in th e summer of lifSy brought my work on the “ Birds of Europe to a successful termination, I was naturally desirous of turning my attention to the Ornithology of some other region; and a variety of kjUucurring circumstances induced me to select that of Australia, the Birds of which, though invested with the highest degree of interest, had been almost entirely neglected, Dr. Shaw,.ih his “ Zoology of New Holland,” had devoted a few plates to the subject,, from specimens collected by Sir Joseph Banks during the first voyage of Captain Cook; th e ^B ird s of New Holland” by Lenin comprisedB>|,:more than twenty-six plates ; and figures and descriptions of a few species were given in the earlier voyages of Phillip, White and Ctfllins, and the more recent one of King. At à subsequent;.period the late Mr. Vigors and Dr. Horsfield commeubef an elaborate memoir on the Collection of Australian Birds'kin the possession oS the Linneap Society; but unfortunately, they did not proceed farther than the Meliphagidoe, and the non-completion of their labours; is: the more to be regretted, inasmuch as the Linnean Society’s collection ;of Australian birds, at that time the finest extant, comprised many species collected by Mir. Brown during his voyage with the celebrated navigator Flinders, and was moreover enriched with, some interesting notes by the late Mr. George Caley, by whom thjtéolléçtion was chiéfly formed. Descriptions of many Australian birds were also included in the works of Latham, Shaw, Cuvier and Vieillot, as well as in several of the recent French voyages of discovery ; still no general work on the subject 'had been undertaken,, and nearly all that had been recorded by the various writers above enumerated, had Peferencesàlmost exclusively to the productions of New South Wales and Van Dlenien’s Land, these being almost the-.only explored portions of that great country. In the absence, then, of any general work on. the Birds of Australia, the;field was comparatively a new one, and of no ordinary degree ¡of interest, from the circumstance of its being one of the
