Pardalotus pallidus, a species said to be closely allied to 

 P. rubricatus, has been described by Mr. A. J. Campbell 

 [cf. 'Emu,' viii. p. 142 (1909)]. I have examined a male 

 procured at North-west Cape (which lies about three Imudred 

 and fifty miles to the south of the De Grey River, where 

 the type of P. pallidus was obtained), and find that it agrees 

 in every respect with typical examples of P. rubricatus. 

 P. pallidus is said to be ''much lighter-coloured than any 

 known species of the genus." 



[The Fawn-eyebrowed Diamond-bird was not plentiful. —
