[The Ground Cuckoo-Shrike is a local and by no means 

 plentiful species, being rare in the south-west. At times it 

 is gregarious, breeding in small colonies, generally in trees. 

 It frequents well-timbered districts and feeds on the ground. 

 In its flight it resembles the Black-faced Cuckoo-Shrike 

 {Graucalus melanops). — G. C. S.'\

[The Restless Flycatcher although so similar in general 

 appearance to Rhipidura tricolor is very unlike that species in 

 its habits. It is of a more retiring nature, and is generally 

 to be found in thick forest-country. From the south-west it 

 extends as far inland as Southern Cross. — G. C. S.]
