Pardalotus punctatus whitlocki. 



Western Red-rumped Pardalotes were common in the 

 Karri forests of the south-west, but not always easy to see^ 

 and still less to shoot, when they are high up in the giant 

 trees that average two hundred feet in height, and in the 

 Warren River district often reach three hundred feet. 



Pardalotus rubricatus pallidiis. 



Pale Red-browed Pardalotes were, as usual, fairly plentiful 

 about the beds of the Gascoyne and Minilya rivers, and 

 occasionally seen far out from water-courses. On 10 Sept- 

 ember, 1916, I shot a female at the Minilya River that 

 contained a fully-formed white egg. On 18 September 

 I noted that a pair of these birds were feeding their young, 

 which were being reared inside a perpendicular iron pipe 

 about two inches in diameter and seven feet in height ; 

 this was set upright in the ground just outside a large 

 shearing shed^ where shearing was in full progress. The 

 nest was apparently some distance down the pipe. 



Pardalotus striatus westraliensis. 



Western Pardalotes were common about Broome Hill and 

 all south-western districts. On 1 September, 1916, I shot a 

 pair at the Minilya River, where I had never previously seen 

 any of these birds, nor were they met with at the Gascoyne. 



Melithreptus lunatus chloropsis. 



Western White-naped Honeyeaters were observed all 

 through the south-west area, where they are one of the 

 commonest birds. 



Melithreptus atricapillus leucogenys. 



A few Western Brown-headed Honeyeaters were seen 

 about Broome Hill and Gnowangerup in February 1916, 

 and s))ecimens obtained. 



Cissomela nigra westralensis. 



Western Black "Honeyeaters were only seen on one 

 occasion, viz. on 21 June, 1916, when I shot one out of 

 a pair at Maud's Landing. They were very wild and 



restless.
