Frilled-necked Flycatcher. In connecting the discoverer's name 

 with this interesting bird, I deem it an honour due to him for his 

 indomitable perseverance and diligence as a field naturalist. 

 Moreover, the name of Le Souef (in part connection with his 

 father, Mr. A. C. Le Souef) is a household word amongst field 

 workers and zoological institutions in Australia. 



I exhibit here to-night, for comparison, the two Australian 

 Arses, namely, kaupi and terrce-regiticB. During my own 

 excursion to Northern Queensland, 1885, I secured a pair of 

 Kaup's Flycatchers in the Cardwell Scrub. The one exhibited is 

 the female, now in possession of our local taxidermist, Mr. A. 

 Coles ; the other was taken over by the the National Museum.

Male. — Head, including ear coverts and side of face, velv^ety 

 Black. Upper part of back, shoulders, broad band across the 

 breast, glossy or bluish-black. "Wings, except where blending 

 into a brownish shade at the primaries, and tail, black. Tibial 

 plumes, dusky. Surrounding the back of the neck is a pure white 

 frill or collar joining a white throat and chin. Abdomen, part 

 of under wing coverts, and lower portion of the back also white. 

 In the specimen under consideration there appears some patches 

 of parti-colour on the back, indicating possibly that the bird has 

 not reached mature plumage. In life a narrow disc of beautiful 

 bluish wattle surrounds the eyes, which are dark brown. Bill 

 (narrow) steel-blue; feet black. Total length, 6-3 inches; bill 

 (from gape), -75; culmen, -4; wing, 3-25; tail, 3-; tarsus, -73. 



Female. — Judging by analogy, probably resembles those of the 

 other frilled-necked species, in being generally dusky brown or 

 rufous in colour.
