DESCRIPTION OF A. AUSTRALIS SHAW. 



cT iul. Head and neck rufous brownish-grey. Rest of njiperside reddish 

 brown, each feather margined with black, giving the ])himagr a iongitudinall)' 

 striped a])pearauce. Uiidersurface grey, with a rufons tinge liere and there. Bill 

 pale horn-colour, legs and feet reddish brown, iris brown. Total length about 

 b'M mm. 



? ad. Larger than the /««&. Head ainl neck rather dark smoky grey, generally 

 without the rufous tinge. Rest of jdumage as in the mnk, but the centres of the 

 feathers in most sj)ecimens paler rufous. Total length about TOO mm. 



Jur. Similar to the adult liirds in plumage. 



Chick. Much darker than the adult of either se.x. This is caused by the pale 

 central area of each feather being more restricted in width and the black borders 

 conseipiently wider : foreheinl markedly more greyish than the rest of the head 

 and neck. Chicks m this stage strongly resemble adult individuals of Ajiteri/x 

 (MStralis mn nielli.
