call unlil the fcinak' arrived. Slu; would cxaniiiK- ll),r siU: and 

 tlu'U liy elsewhere. This performance was repeated several 

 times, and then the pair flew out of sight.] 



Monarcha albiventris, Gould. White-bellied Flycatcher. 



Svjitl^osidclntnis Irivir^ata albiventris. 



One o. -2 j'j (imm. ?), i ?. Typical, and by their pure white 

 lower breast and flanks differ from more southern form — gouldi — 

 which has notably brownish flanks. The sexes appear alike in 

 colourini^;. I'^recpiently noted up to the ist March. 



*GraucaIus melanops, Latham. Black-faced Cuckoo-Shrike. 

 G. novcehollandicB melanops. 



One. ^. In plumage change — i.e., does not show the; black 

 throat and forehead, which parts are mottled black and grey, and 

 the t;ul feathers are much abraded. The bill, however, is larger 

 than that of any other example of the species in the collection. 

 Wing, 177 mm., as against wing 200 mm. for a Victorian specimen. 

 *Graucalus hypoleucus, Gould. White-bellied Cuckoo-Shrike. 

 G. h. stalkcri. 



One +. This species is found in New Guinea, also the 

 Solomons.* It does not appear to vary from North Australian 

 birds. Specimens from all localities appear to have more or less 

 a greyish tone on the breast. Seen a few times. 



*Edoliisoma jardinii, Riippell. Great Caterpillar-eater, 

 Metai^raucalus temiirostris obscurus. 



One $. Smaller size generally (wing, 120 mm.) and shows less 

 striations on the under surface than does a female from Richmond 

 River, New South Wales (wing, 130 mm.) A male from Port 

 Moresby, New Guinea, is similar to a male obtained l)y Mr. H. G. 

 Barnard and myself at Cardwell. There are in the National 

 ]\Iuseum collection a female and a male showing a transition stage 

 of plumage, from the Solomon Islands. The species is a migrant 

 to New South Wales and Victoria, and eggs have been taken as 

 far south as Western Port (see " Nests and Eggs," Campbell, 



p. lOl). 



Mr. INPLennan iirst heard this Caterpillar-eater calling near 

 some mangroves, 18/12/19, and procured the female above 

 mentioned, 12/ 1/20. 



*Campephaga leucomela, \'ig(jrs and Horsfleld. Pied Caterpillar- 

 eater. 

 Kama I. yorki. 



One $. Similar to mainland birds, especially those from Norlh- 

 West (same wing, 98 mm.), but hghter underncatb, particularly 

 the tail coverts, which are not so rufous as seen on some Richmond 

 River and Cairns specimens. Numerous, and breeding. 

 *Cisticola exilis, Vigors and Horsfleld. Grass-Warbler. 

 C. e. mixta. 



Two ot?, 2 $9. The Grass-Warbler enjoys a wide range, and 



* E.xaniples from both localities are in the National Museum, Melbourne.
