They were also common on the Minilya River and the 

 Yardle Creek pools, but exce[)ting near these pools in 

 the North West Cape ranges, their place is taken by 

 Lichenostomus keartlandi. Most of the young birds are 

 fledo-ed in Auo-ust or early Septeml)er. The notes of the 

 birds from the Minilya northwards are different from those 

 on the Gascoyne. 



Meliornis novsehollandise longirostris. 



Long-billed Honeyeaters were common in all south- 

 western districts. 



Meliornis niger gouldi. 



Moustached Honeyeaters were only seen at Augusta, 

 when several were feeding on the honey in J3anksia 

 blossoms, in company with many M. longirostris. and 

 specimens were obtained on 8 April, 1910. These birds 

 seem to be very local, and are always very restless and shy. 



Myzantha flavigula lutea. 



Yellow IVlinahs were common on the Lower Gascoyne 

 Kiver, and a few were seen on the Minilya and Lyndon 

 rivers. Fledged young were noted on 9 Se[)tember, 1911. 



Coleia carunculata woodwardi. 



Western Red Wattle-birds were common about Broome 

 Hill and all south-western districts. In early April^ 1019, 

 thousands of them were feeding in the coastal scrub and 

 timber near the Vasse River. 



Anthochsera chrysoptera lunulata. 



Little Wattle-birds were not commonly seen, except at 

 the Vasse River, in April 1919, when many were feeding 

 in company with (Joleia carunculata. 



Acanthogenys rufogularis flavacanthus. 



Western Sjjiny'-cheeked Honeyeaters were fairly common 

 in the scrubs about (/arnarvon, the Minilya district, and 

 North-West Cape ranges, and a good many were seen at 

 Woolundra in May 1919, eating the last of the grape-crop.
