Graucalus hypoleucus, Gould, B. of Austr., vol ii., pi. lvii. ; id. Handb., vol. i. p. 196; Forbes,

One skin of this species from Cape York. [No. 151,?. Legs, bill, and eyes black. 

 Stomach contained insects.]

Pachycephala, sp. inc. : Forbes, Proc. Zool. Soc, 1878, p. 122. 



[No. 196, $ . Pachycephala. Eyes brown ; bill and legs horn-colour. Stomach 

 had insects.] 



A single skin of a Pachycepliala from Booby Island, immature, still retaining some 

 of the rufous feathers characteristic of immaturity in its wings. It is certainly one of the 

 species which, when adult, are yellow beneath, the under tail-coverts being bright gam- 

 boge-yellow. The species of this group are so hard to determine, unless males and in 

 adult plumage, that it seems better to leave this bird, although not exactly like any 

 Pachycephala I have been able to examine in the British Museum or in Mr Godman's 

 collection, without a name for the present, more particularly as Mr Sharpe is, I believe, 

 now working at this group for the next volume of his catalogue. 



9. Pinarolestes rufigaster, Gould. 



Colluricincla rufigaster, Gould, B. of Austr., vol. i. p. 37 ; id. Handb. B. of Austr., vol. i. p. 226. 

 Pinarolestes rufigaster, Sharpe, Cat. of B., vol. iii. p. 296; Forbes, Proc. Zool. Soc, 187iS, 

 p. 122. 



[No. 170,?. Shrike.] 



One specimen, from Cape York, of this difficult genus. Mr Gould, to whom I showed 

 the specimen, was inclined to indentify it with his Colluricincla parvissima 1 (Ann. and 

 Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 4., vol. x. p. 114), and has kindly lent me the type of that species 

 (which Mr Sharpe, I. c, p. 297, treats as the young of Pinarolestes rufigaster) for com- 

 parison. I find, however, that the Cape York bird has a distinctly shorter wing, a 

 stronger and more arched bill, and is less rufous on the under side. Mr Sharpe, who 

 has recently worked up this group for his catalogue, has examined this specimen, and 

 refers it to Pinarolestes rufigaster. 



10. Manucodia gouldi, Gray. 



Manucodia gouldi, Gould, Handb. B. Austr., vol. i. p. 236; Sharpe, Cat. of B., vol. iii. p. 181; 



Forbes, Proc. Zool. Soc, 1878, p. 123. 

 Manucodia keraudreni, Gould, B. Austr., Suppl, pi. ix. 



Two female specimens. [No. 152. Bower-bird. Eyes orange ; bill and legs black. 



1 Count Salvadori suggests that this really = P. megarhyiwhus of New Guinea.
