As regards its name, it is obvious that Myiolestes youldi 

 G, R. Gr. shouhl be employed in preference to C. jjcirvissima 

 Gould, which was published 14 years later.

 Brit. Mus. iv. p. 36 (1879). 



A large series from Coolvtown and Mount Sapphiri. Iris 

 brown ; feet and bill black. A nest, obtained on December 

 12th at Bellenden Ker, was situated in the fork of a tree, 

 about 25 feet from the ground, and contained one fresh egg, 

 which is oval, measuring 30 x 21*5 mm., of a dull olive-green, 

 thickly marked with dull reddish-brown blotches, which form 

 a zone at the larger end. 



31. ■^Graucalus melanops (Lath.) ; Sharpe, t. c. p. 30. 

 Adult and immature birds of both sexes were shot at 



Cooktown in June and July. Iris &c. as in the preceding 

 species. 



32. Graucalus swainsoni Gould. 

 GraucuJiis U neat us Sharpe, t. c. p. 40. 



Somewhat scarce at Cooktown, but evidently much com- 

 moner round Cairns. " Iris yellowish white ; feet and bill 

 black" {Olive). 



Immature birds have the feathers of the rumjj and lower 

 back tipped with white, the white bars on the lower surface 

 broader than in older birds, and the under wing-coverts and 

 axillaries pure white, only faintly barred with black.
