is piiye white [sanguinea), while the material, including the Dampier 

 specimens from N.W. Australia, in the " H. L. White Collection " 

 all has a ligM ivory-yellow tone (? gymnopis). 



Chalcococcyx basalis, Horsfield. Narrow-billed Bronze-Cuckoo. 

 N cochalcites b. wyndhami. 



One ?, Barrow Island. Same as Cossack skin collected by 

 Whitlock, 22/10/17. For Dirk Hartog Carter records plagosns, 

 which separate species seems to favour more southern parts of 

 the West. 



Artamus leucogaster, Gould. White-rumped Wood-Swallow. 

 .-1. Iciicorhyiichus hartcrti. 



Two $?, Barrow Island. Whitlock previously obtained a S 

 from Cossack. There is no appreciable difference in West from 

 East birds. 



Artamus cinereus, Gould. Grey-breasted Wood-Swallow. 

 Austrartamiis )nclanops tregellasi. 



One S> Dirk Hartog Island. Typical. For the last 75 years 

 Gould's unsurpassable plate (" Birds of Australia/' ii., No. 29) 

 has existed over the name Artamus cineretis for this well-known 

 species, with the following leading letterpress : — " Space between 

 the bill and the eye, the fore part of the cheek, the chin, the upper and 

 under tail coverts, jet black." 



More recently Mathews {Bull. B.O.C., xxvh., p. 100, 1911) 

 re-describes the bird : — " Line over the forehead, lores, and a ring 

 round the eyes, as well as the throat, rump, thighs, vent, and under 

 tail coverts black, with the name Austrartamiis melanops tregellasi." 



Pcecilodryas (pulverulentus) cinereiceps, Hartert. Grey-headed 



Slirike-Kobin. 

 Qnoyornis leucurus cinereiceps. 



A mature skin, but unsexed, from Cossack, which confirms the 

 opinion (see Emu, ante, p. 7) that the two specimens previously 

 collected by Whitlock were not adults, and that it is Hartert' s 

 cinereiceps. It has been found farther south, at North- West 

 Cape, by Carter {Emu, iii., p. 91). 



Melanodryas bicolor, Vigors and Horsfield. Hooded Robin. 

 M. cucullata westralensis. 



One cJ, 2 $? (immature). Dirk Hartog Island. May be 

 westralensis (Mathews), which differs from the more eastern race 

 by " its smaller size." This also applies to picata (Gould). Wing 

 of westralensis, 94 mm. ; of bicolor (Victoria), 97 mm. ; of picata 

 (Northern Territory), 88 mm. 



As Grant points out, the chief difference seems to be one of 

 size, typical bicolor being distinctly largest. 



Oreoica cristata, Lewin. Crested Bell-Bird. 

 0. c. iceslraloisis. 



One o (immature), from Shark Bay, where it is numerous. Mr. 

 Carter observed the insular bird of this species on Dirk Hartog
