Meliphaga virescens virescens. 



Singing Honeyeaters were commonly observed in all the 

 districts visited. Fledged young were seen at Carnarvon 

 on 11 August, 1913, and Point Cloates on 14 July, 

 1916. Mr. G. M. Mathews appears to have inadvertently 

 described Meliphaga virescens hartogi as a new subspecies 

 {vide Bulletin B. 0. C. vol. xl. 1920, p. 76). The type of 

 the species itself was obtained on Dirk Hartog Island by 

 the French expedition of 1818, as mentioned in ' The Ibis ' 

 (1917, p. 609), and was described by Vieillot (N. Diet. 

 d'Hist. Nat. xiv. p. 329). 



Lichenostomus cratitia occidentalis. 



Wattle-cheeked Honeyeaters were very plentiful in the 

 sand-plain scrubs east of Gnowangerup in February 1919, 

 the only locality where any were observed. 



Lichenostomus keartlandi mungi. 



Western Grey-headed Honeyeaters were plentiful all 

 along the ranges of the North- West Cape peninsula, but 

 were not seen elsewhere. They were breeding from July 

 to August, 1916. The song of this bird is a very sweet 

 trilling warble, and other shorter notes are uttered. 



Lichenostomus ornatus ornatus. 



Western Yellow-plumed Honeyeaters were common at 

 Lake Craigie (fifteen miles north of Perth), where specimens 

 were obtained on 8 April, 1916. 



Lichenostomus ornatus wensleydalei. 



Inland Yellow-plumed Honeyeaters w^ere very plentiful 

 about Broome Hill, where they mostly fed in the white- 

 gum timber. Many recentlj^ fledged young birds were seen 

 in early February, 1916. 



Ptilotula penicillata carteri. 



North western White-plumed Honeyeaters were, as usual, 

 abundant on the scrubby bunks and islands of the Gascoyne 

 River, the bushes and white-gum trees being full of the 

 birds, with their cheerful notes and lively movements.
