Genus Anseranas, Less.
Like Cereopsis, this genus contains but a single species, which is equally confined to Australia.

540. Anseranas melanoleuca . ; : : : : : : : : : : . Woll, WIM, IAL &.

Genus Bernicua, 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 Bernicle.

Genus Nerrarus, 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 . : . : . : : : ; 7 : : Wolk Wau, TPL ts,

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.

Genus Cyenus, Linn.

Only one species, the C. atratus, is, I believe, found south of the line; for the Black-necked Swan of Chili will

doubtless prove to be generically distinct.

544. Cygnus atratus : ; : Wools WAM 1b ey.

This “ rara avis in terris” is not only strictly confined to Australia, but is so exclusively an inhabitant of the

southern districts, that no notice has been recorded of its having been seen in Torres’ Straits, or on any part of the

north coast.

Genus Casarca, Bonap.
This ornamental section of the Anatide is not very numerous in species.

545. Casarca Tadornoides : , : : a : : : : ‘ 5 ; ; NV) eas eles Tez

A beautiful representative of the C. rutila of Europe.

An equally beautiful representative of the 7. Vulpanser.
