Yes plus Crested Pigeon, Rainbow Lorikeet, Satin Bowerbird. Although the increases so obvious now were at least hinted at by SW back then. Or to give a simple
answer to the question it can be qualitative, rather than quantitative and include all those species of which we have a record now, that were not in the book at all, not thought likely at the time-------- Red Knot, White-fronted Honeyeater, etc.
