“This bird," Mr. Caley says, “is called Golden-Eye by the 
settlers. I shot it at Iron Cove, seven miles from Sydney, on 
the Paramatta road."—Specimens of the species now in the col- 
lection were brought by Mr. Brown from Port Jackson.

This bird, which was found by. Mr. Bon at King George’ s 
Sound, on the South coast of New Holland, appears closely 
allied to the last. It is however in very bad condition, and 
scarcely admits of a description. 'The dimensions appear nearly 
the same as those of Mel. lunulata. It has much of the appear- 
ance of a young bird. | 
10. Brevrrosrris. Mel. brunnescenti-fusca, subtus albida, dorso 
virescenti, strigd postoculari alba, rostro subbrevi. 
* 'This section of our group corresponds with the genus Melithreptus of M. Vieillot ; 
at least the Mel. lunulata, one of the best known species in the section, is given as one 
of the types of that genus. We do not know how far M. Vieillot meant to extend his 
group; but it may be adviseable hereafter to restrict it to those species which will 
arrange themselves in the present section.
