Abstract
THE Tachyglossus was shot by me near Georgetown, in lat. 18° S. I have found it inhabiting the porphyritic ranges (Newcastle and Mount Turner) in this locality, where they are rather numerous. In my letter (NATURE, vol. xvi. p. 420) I should have written “integumentary” pouch. The Orinthorhynchus paradoxus I saw floating with its bill above water in a lagoon between Georgetown and Normanton, 150 miles west of the former town.
