AAPA Media Release, 16 Oct 1996

["RAOU Conservation (Hugo Phillipps)" <>]

Attention: David Harrison, National Secretary AAPA

Dear Mr Harrison,
I wish to point out an error in your media release.  You state:

"The RED-VENTED BULBUL and the HILL MYNA are in such large numbers in the
wild that they, along with many others, are listed as supplementary birds in
the RAOU publication - Taxonomy and Species of Birds of Australia and its
Territories."

The Supplementary List in this RAOU publication "incorporates records of
vagrant species not yet validated, records of ship-assisted species,
introduced species that were established but have now been extirpated, and
records in the literature which are not accepted."

Sincerely,

Hugo Phillipps,
RAOU Conservation & Liaison,
Australian Bird Research Centre,
415 Riversdale Road,
Hawthorn East, VIC 3123, Australia.
