As far as I could observe, with the time at my disposal (one morning with the collections in the South Australian Museum), there are no species to record as new. I am indebted to Doctors Angove and Home, Capt. White, Messrs. Mattingley, Mellor, Zietz, Leach, Barrett, Burrell, and Crompton for indicating or procuring specimens for identifica- tion for this, the first list of the birds in the southern portion of Eyre Peninsula. The nomenclature is that of the Handlist Birds Brit. Mus., 1899 (R. B. Sharpe),* while that of the Brit. Mus. Cat. (1874- 1895) is given in parentheses where it differs from that of the Handlist. The geographical distribution as indicated in the map refers only to the areas 9, 7, 4, because of their immediate connection with area The numbering of the list is that of the " Key to the Birds of Australia" (1906), and provides an easy reference to a short description of the species.

We saw one bird only, and that was very tame. Loc.—Mt. Button Bay. Hab.—4, 6, 7, 9. 16. Hieracidea berigora, Vig. and Hors. (Striped Brown Hawk). This specimen was strongly marked with stripes. Loc—Mt. Button Bay. Hab.—4, 6, 7, 9. 18. Cerchneis CENCHROIDES, Vig. and Hors. (Kestrel). Loc—Wanilla. Hab.—4, 6, 7, 9. 20. Circus gouldi, Bonaparte (Gould Harrier). Loc.—Wangary. Hab.—4, 6, 7, 9.
