258 Campbell, Additions to " H. L. White Collection."- [..f A^rii 



on furtlier examination, that it scarcely differs from riibiginosns 

 (Campbell), his own discovery, some years ago, near Point Cloates, 

 farther up the coast. 



Ephthianura albifrons, Jardine and Selby. White-fronted Bush- 

 Chat. 

 E. a. westralensis. 



One o, adult, Dirk Hartog. Typical coloration, but slightly 

 smaller in size. Wing 65 mm., tarsus 16 mm., as against an 

 Eastern specimen — wing 69 mm., tarsus 18 mm. Carter observed 

 both this species and tricolor (on one occasion) on the island. 



Campephaga humeralis, Gould. White-shouldered Caterpillar- 

 eater. 

 Lai age tricolor indistincta. 



One o (immature) from Barrow Island. As a sub-species, 

 indistincta is not sufficiently convincing. 



Eremiornis carteri, North. Desert-Bird. 



E. c. assimilis. 



One (^, Barrow Island. With the seven skins (4 oJ and 3 9?) 

 previously collected by Whitlock, there is a nice series of this 

 rare and unique species. The insular specimens, compared with 

 the mainland birds, appear smaller in size, have the bill larger, 

 and have the head darker reddish-brown, while the whole plumage 

 is slightly darker. 



The first finding of the nest and eggs, new to science, is graphic- 

 ally related by the collector in another part of this issue ; and the 

 description of the nest and eggs, together with the description 

 of those of the Black-and-White Wren of Barrow Island, both 

 by Mr. H. L. White, will be found ante, pages 127, 128. 



Acanthiza whitlocki, North. Whitlock Tit-Warbler. 

 A. albiventris whitlocki. 



Two c?o, 2 ??, Shark Bay. Mr. Whitlock himself was the 

 discoverer of this species.* When collecting for Mr. H. L. White 

 in the East Murchison district he sent three skins, which Mr. 

 White, in turn, forwarded to the Australian Museum (see Vict. 

 Nat., xxvi., p. 55, 1909). In addition to the technical character- 

 istics, Mr. North reported that " Acanthiza ichitlocki, of which 

 two adult males and an adult female were obtained, is more nearly 

 allied to A . apicalis. From that species, however, it may be 

 distinguished by its greyish-brown instead of olive-brown upper 

 parts, rendering the rufous-brown upper tail coverts more con- 

 spicuous by its purer white under parts and the jjroader black 

 sub-terminal band on the tail." 



The Shark Bay examples appear answerable to this description 

 excepting that the tail feathers and edges of the primaries of some 

 specimens are more inclined to be reddish. 



* His own field notes and photo, of the nest appear in Emu, ix., p. 198.
