The following two books are also very good for providing many of the
histories and various synonyms that existed in the early days before
standardisation...
The official checklist of the birds of Australia. Wolstenholme H (1926).
(or the 1968 facsimilie re-print)
Checklist of the birds of Australia. Part 1. Non-passerines. Condon HT (1975).
