terodontus</i>)."

Ibid. p. 97:

"It was supposed that Port Jackson alone had this shark . . .
It has since been found in many of the coast bays of
Australia."

<hw>Port-Jackson Thrush</hw>, <i>n</i>. the best known bird
among the Australian <i>Shrike-thrushes</i> (q.v.),
<i>Colluricincla harmonica</i>, Lath.; called also the
<i>Austral Thrush</i>, and <i>Harmonic Thrush</i> by Latham.
It is also the <i>C. cinerea</i> of Vigors and Horsfield and
the <i>Turdus harmonicus</i> of Latham, and it has received
various other scientific and vernacular names; Colonel Legge
has now assigned to it the name of <i>Grey Shrike-Thrush</i>.
Gould called it the "Harmonious Colluricincla."

1790. J. White, `Voyage to New South Wales,' p. 157:

"The Port-Jackson thrush, of which a plate is annexed, inhabits
the neighbourhood of Port Jackson. The top of head
blueish-grey; back is a fine chocolate brown; wings and tail
lead-colour; under part dusky white. . . . The bill, dull
yellow; legs brown."

1822. John Latham, `General History of Birds,' vol. v.
p. 124:

"Austral Thrush. [A full description.] Inhabits New South
Wales."

[Latham describes two other birds, the <i>Port Jackson
Thrush</i> and the <i>Harmonic Thrush</i>, and he uses
different scientific names for them. But Gould, regarding
Latham's specimens as all of the same species, takes all
Latham's scientific and vernacular names as synonyms for the
same bird.]

1848. J. Gould, `Birds of Australia,' vol. ii. pl. 74:

"The Colluricincla harmonica is one of the oldest known of the
Australian birds, having been described in Latham's `Index
Ornithologicus,' figured in White's `Voyage' and included in
the works of all subsequent writers."

<hw>Port-Macquarie Pine</hw>. See <i>Pine</i>.

<hw>Post-and-Rail Tea</hw>, slang name for strong bush-tea: so
called because large bits of the tea, or supposed tea, float
about in the billy, which are compared by a strong imagination
to the posts and rails of the wooden fence so frequent in
Australia.

1851. `The Australasian' (a Quarterly), p. 298:

"<i>Hyson-skin</i> and <i>post-and-rail</i> tea have been
superseded by Mocha, claret, and cognac."

1855. G. C. Mundy, `Our Antipodes,' p. 163:

"A hot beverage in a tin pot, which richly deserved the
colonial epithet of `post-and-rail' tea, for it might well have
been a decoction of `split stuff,' or `ironbark shingles,' for
any resemblance it bore to the Chinese plan
