JS^ote. — I have examined a bird sent by Ramsay at the time he described 

 this species, and which can be regarded as a paratype, if not the actual type. 

 This bird agrees absolutely with specimens collected at (Jape York, and disagrees 

 with specimens collected at Cairns. As Ramsay was receiving collections from 

 Cape York at the time he described his bird, I can only conclude that his specimens 

 were erroneously localised, and came from Cape York and not from Rockingham 

 Bay as stated.
