Abstract

It has occurred to me
that something might be done in the pages of our journal
towards increasing our knowledge of the distribution of
Tasmanian birds. The large islands round our coasts appear
to furnish the most interesting fields of observation, and in
the present instance Maria Island has been chosen as being
a place to which no little attention has of late been drawn in
connection with settlement and fertilisation, and where there
may some day be a considerable population. The geographical
features of the island are such as to be favourable in a large
degree to bird life.
