owing to Mr. Carter's inability to get far enough away from the 

 bird without losing sight of it. Mr. George Masters also found 

 this species inhabiting the mangroves at Port Lincoln, S.A., 

 during the latter part of 1 865. Count Salvadori places Eo])saliHa 

 'pulverulent a in the genus Foncilodryas ; if rightly so, then E. 

 georgiana must also be included in it. The type of Eopsaltria 

 gularis was figured and described by MM. Quoy &Gaimardfrom 

 a specimen collected at King George's Sound, W.A., during the 

 voyage of the " Astrolabe." Subsequently Gould described and 

 figured the same species under the name of E. griseogularis, from 

 a specimen obtained at Swan River. In his Handbook,* Gould 

 erroneously placed Muscicapa georgiana, Quoy & Gaimard, 

 as a synonym of his Eopsaltria griseogularis, and also erred in 

 placing Muscicapa gularis, Quoy & Gaimard, as a synomym of 

 Eopsaltria leitcog aster, Gould. Dr. Gadowf has similarly con- 

 fused the synonymy of the two species, and he erroneously 

 describes Eopsaltria gularis under the name of Eopsaltria 

 georgiana, and the latter species under the name of the former. 

 The correct synonymy of these two sj^ecies as regards the works 

 referred to is as follows : —
