 E. lavigaster is restricted to the iiortli-west and Northern 

 Territory west of the Roper River, cantator, mould, and 

 mastersi being now considered full species. E. Icsvigaster 

 has two new subspecies out of four, while mastersi has a 

 couple and cantator has one that is new. E.fuscus proving 

 to be the same as E. cuHcivorus, both of Gould, the former

The yellow-breasted, black-throated Pseudogen/go7ie palpe- 

 brosa is allowed to stand in a separate genus, with three

The P/rcilodn/as series is divided, and Leucophanes is

 Ramsaj^, not to mention Tregellasia and other forms. 



Poccilodryas superciliosa has two subspecies, P. ccrvini-

 Cape York, of which little is yet known. 



The Thickheads are nn interesting series of Australian 

 forms, well known for their fine songs and lively coloration.
