248 Mr.V1Gons's and Dr. HonsriErp's Description of the 
ance turning over like a tumbler Pigeon, and then immediately 
returning to the same twig or bough from whence it sprang. 
These actions it continues constantly to repeat. The skin is 
very tender ; and it is difficult after having taken it off the body 
to restore it again to its proper shape. The species is very 
common about Paramatta ; and I do not recollect having missed 
it at any period of the year."

torisque colorem album, ut in circulo, ferè circumcingens. 
Pteromata ad apicem parce albo-marginata. Tectrices in- 
feriores nigro alboque varie. Remiges fuscæ, subtus pal-

This species was discovered by Mr. Brown at George's River 
in September 1803. It bears a great resemblance to the descrip- 
tion of Dr. Latham's Motacilla atricapilla*, or the Black-topped 
Flycatcher of his ** General History", but differs in the colour 
of the bill, back and throat. The latter species most probably 
belongs to the present group.
