State & Territory Lists - Introductions

[Frank O'Connor <>]

Thanks for all the help in putting these lists together.

I have just purchased the "CSIRO List of Australian Vertebrates, A
Reference with Conservation Status" by Mark Clayton et al.  It
doesn't help a great deal as the information was available elsewhere
especially for the vagrants, but it does give some guidance on a few
species such as those I mentioned in NSW.  The big advantage is that
it lists the species numbers, and I have added this column to the
spreadsheet.  It doesn't include Pale-headed Rosella, and I couldn't
easily pick which sub species this is, and use the number for the sub
species.  Does anyone have this number?  It is possible this is
being treated as the nominate Eastern Rosella and that Pale-headed is 286
and Eastern should be 288?

It includes a table of "Introductions of native species in Australia
and its territories".  It is missing a few for WA, and includes
Musk Lorikeet which I have never seen here.  It has a few others
that I am wondering about :

Emu (ACT).  Doesn't Emu occur naturally in the ACT?  I have it
as uncommon (and hence an x).

Australian Brush-turkey (SA).  Does anyone have these details, and
do they still exist?

Gang-gang Cockatoo (SA).  Ditto.

Laughing Kookaburra (Tas).  Does it occur naturally in Tasmania
(including islands such as Flinders), or are they all introduced as in
WA?

It doesn't include Helmeted Guineafowl, Chukar Partridge or Barbary
Dove.  Does anyone have species numbers for these?

Is there a species number for Black-billed Magpie?  These are all
assumed to be ship assisted, but they are now on the main list. 
House Crow does a number.

The other species that I am missing numbers for are either not officially
on the list (but I included them as possible), or they are recent
additions to the list, Were Collared and Vanuatu Petrels regarded as sub
species of some other species?  In this case they may have a number
for the sub species.
