"Iron-bark ridges here and there, with spotted gum, with
dogwood (<i>Jacksonia</i>) on a sandy soil." (p. 20): "A

dogwood shrubs (<i>Jacksonia</i>), in the full glory of their
golden blossoms, I called `Dogwood Creek.'"

"The settlers call it dollar-bird, from the silver-like spot on
the wing."

1848. J. Gould, `Birds of Australia;' vol. ii. pl. 17:

"<i>Eurystomus Australis</i>, Swains., Australian Roller.
Dollar Bird of the Colonists. During flight the white spot in
the centre of each wing, then widely expanded, shows very
distinctly, and hence the name of Dollar Bird.'"

1851. I. Henderson, `Excursions in New South Wales,' vol. ii.
p. 183:

"The Dollar-bird derives its name from a round white spot the
size of a dollar, on its wing. It is very handsome, and flies
in rather a peculiar manner. It is the only bird which I have
observed to perform regular migrations; and it is strange that
in such a climate any one should do so. But it appears that
the dollar-bird does not relish even an Australian winter.
It is the harbinger of spring and genial weather."

<hw>Dollar-fish</hw> <i>n</i>. a name often given formerly to
the <i>John Dory</i> (q.v.), from the mark on its side. See

American coasts to a different fish.

"The fishermen of Roman Catholic countries hold this fish in
special respect, as they recognize in a black round spot on its
side the mark left by the thumb of St. Peter, when he took the
piece of money from its mouth."

1882. Rev. J. E. Tenison-Woods, `Fish of New South Wales,'
p. 62:

"The dory has been long known, and when the currency of the
colony was in Mexican coin it was called a `dollar-fish.'"
