Genus Bernicla, Steph.
The Australian bird hitherto referred to this genus should certainly receive a new generic appellation, since it does not agree either in form or habits with the true Berniclæ.

Genus Nettapus, Brandt.
Of this beautiful genus of Pygmy Geese there are at least four species known; one inhabiting Africa, one India, and two Australia.

| Nettapus Coromandelianus | Vol. VII. Pl. 5. |
I feel confident that the Australian bird which I have figured under the name of N. Coromandelianus, is quite distinct from the Indian, and I have therefore assigned it a new name.
My figures are stated to be of the natural size, but this is an error: they are considerably smaller.
