Broome Hill, iu May 1919, I saw and heard a Calamanthus 

 on sand-plain country, but failed to obtain a specimen, 

 having no gun at the time. It would be interesting to 

 identity the birds occurring there. 



Calamanthus campestris rubiginosus. 



Rusty-red Field-Wrens were seen at Maud's Landing, 

 and specimens obtained during the hist week of August 

 1911 ; also at Maud's Landing and Point Gloates at the 

 same time in 1913, and in early July in 1916, when a 

 breeding male was obtained on 7 July at Point Oloates.

 place. 



Parephthianura tricolor assimilis. 



Westralian Tricoloiu'ed Chats were connnon from Car- 

 narvon to Point Cloates in 1913 and 1916. On 21 Auiiust.
