These birds were noticed breeding on the Lyndon River on 

 5 September, 1911, and at Carnarvon on 23 September, 

 1913. Both sexes utter the peculiar gurglino- notes, and I 

 observed that these birds north o£ Point Cloates have quite 

 a different note and whistle from those of the Carnarvon 

 district. Mr. G. M. Mathews described the Woolundra 

 bird as A. r. woolundra (Bulletir^ B. 0. C. xl. 1920^ p. 76). 



Aiithus australis bilbali. 



Western Pipits were common about Broome Hill, and in 

 open or cleared localities through the south- and mid- west 

 areas. They are not seen in heavy timber in its natural 

 state, but extend their range as the. country is cleared. 

 Two small young were seen in a nest at Carnarvon on 

 13 August, 1911, and three fresh eggs in a nest there 

 on 22 September, 1913. Specimens of Anthus obtained 

 at Peron Peninsula and Dirk Hartog Island (both in Shark 

 Bav) and at Carnarvon are slightly more rufous in general 

 colourino- than birds from Broome Hill. Point Cloates birds 

 arc distinctly more rufous than those at Carnarvon, and near 

 the North-West Cape I obtained specimens that agree with 

 Mathews' llufous Pipit {Anthus australis subrufus), of which 

 I found a nest containing three eggs, about twenty miles 

 south of North-West Cape, on 29 July, 1916. They were 

 very similar to those of more southern Pipits. 



Mirafra horsfieldi woodwardi. 



Specimens of the Onslow Bush-Lark were obtained by 

 me at the Minilya River on 20 August, 1911. It was 

 the first time I had seen these birds so far south. 

 Fledged young were seen at the same place on 20 Sept- 

 ember, 1911. Several were seen at Maud's Landing, Point 

 Cloates, and near the North-West Cape. 



Zonaeginthus oculatus. 



Red-eared Finches were common in the Paper-Bark tree 

 [Melaleuca] swamps about Albany in 1913, and I saw some 

 at Lake Muir (which is thirty-tive miles from the sea) on 

 1 January, 1916, and a good many at a large swamp close
