Australian Birds in the Collection of the Linnean Society. 945 
I saw it when far distant in the mountains, the roughest part of 
the country I had then or since visited. In the months of March 
and April, when I was in Western Port, it came and perched on 
the rigging of the vessel.—I apprehend it is migratory ; but if 
this is the case, it does not depart to any great distance."

Muscicapa Lathami. V. in Zool. Journ. vol. i. p. 410. pl. 13. 
For the same considerations that influenced us when we 
referred the last bird to a described species of Dr. Latham, 
although it evinced some marks of difference from the figure 
of that species, we are inclined to consider the bird before us 
as a variety of the Muscicapa Lathami of the Zoological Journal. 
It differs from the specimen there described in having the three 
outer tail-feathers margined internally with white. The spe- 
cimen in the Society's collection was met with at Port Jackson 
by Mr. Brown, August 1803.
