Australian Birds in the Collection of the Linnean Society. 237 
Motacilla solitaria. Lewin, Birds of New Holland, pl. 16. 
Muscicapa solitaria. Lath. Gen. Hist. vi. p. 220. no. 110. 
The specimens of this bird in the Society’s collection are in 
very bad condition: but from their general characters, and the 
accounts we have received of their manners, we consider them 
as sufficiently according with M. Bechstein's group of Saxicola. 
Mr. Caley in his Notes thus observes of these birds.—*‘ Cataract 
Bird: an inhabitant of rocky ground.—While at the Waterfall 
of Carrung-gurring, about thirty miles to the southward of 
Prospect Hill, I saw several of them. I have also seen them in 
the North Rocks, about a couple of miles from Paramatta: and 
always ppon the rocks. I never observed them in trees or 
bushes.” A specimen in the collection presented by Mr. Brown 
is marked as found by that gentleman at Port Jackson, Septem- 
ber 15th, 1803. 
We have some doubt as to this species according exactly with 
Mr. Lewin's Motacilla solitaria, and have therefore added a 
more detailed description of it than is our custom when noticing 
a published species.

bles in general appearance.
