In the British Museum there are three examples of 

 S. jlavescens Gould : — 



(a) S' Fitzroy River, N.W. Australia {Capt. T. H. 

 Bowyer-Bower) . 



(b) S ■ Peak Range Camp, 27.i.45 : Port Essington 

 Expedition [Gould Coll.). 



(c) S- Gilbert River, N. Queensland, 3.X.56 (J. R. 

 Elsey) . 



These specimens are distinguishable from S. brevirostris by 

 their lighter olive back and yellowish rump. 



[The Short-billed Scrub-Tit was very plentiful in the 

 central and south-western divisions and was observed as far 

 south as Wagiu. 



It chiefly frequents the high Eucalyptus-trees, among the 

 leaves of which it may often be overlooked. It closely 

 resembles the species of Pardalotus in its habits. — G. C. S.]
