name rubecula has priority, and is identical with jihmbea 

 and rubiculoides of Vigors and Korsfiekl^ while Goukl's 

 concinna is only one of seven sul)species recognized by 

 Mr. Mathews, as opposed to five by Rothschild and 

 Hartert — including extralimital forms. Similarly, M. cyano- 

 leucus lias priority over niticla of Gould, and includes as 

 subspecies robinsoni and nuptus, the latter of which was 

 considered a full species from the Louisiade Group by 

 Hartert. M. ruficollis, which is identical with latirostris 

 of Gould, has five subspecies, three being Australian. 



The very broad-billed MachcBrirhynchus has one species 

 (Jiaviv enter') from Cape York and a large subspecies 

 {secundus) from Cairns district, apart from others, outside 

 the Continent. That familiar bird the Restless Flycatcher, 

 or scissors-grinder (Seisura), was depicted no less tlian 

 four times by Watling, and subsequently named four times 

 by Latham. His first name (inquieta) holds^ and five sub- 

 species are here recognized. Oi" these^ nana was considered 

 a full species by Gould, while rogersi is now given as a new 

 form from north-west Australia. 



Ophryzone is a genus of one species confined to the 

 Cairns district, for Mr. Mathews has separated lorealis 

 from kaupi under a genus, Proseisura. Piezorhynchus has 

 one Australian species, originally discovered by Gilbert, 

 which is divided into four subspecies under the head of 

 the extralimital alecto. We next come to a group of birds 

 differentiated by Bonaparte as Symposiachrus, and allied 

 to Mona?'cha. There is one Australian species {trivirgatus) 

 with two subspecies [albiventris and gouldii), for Sharpe's 

 medius is the same as the former, and stalkei-l is now 

 dropped. Carteroniis leucotis has had a luckier fate, for it 

 has been named but once^ though two subspecies are 

 admitted. Monarcha proves to be a composite group^ the 

 consideration of which begins in this part. A new 

 genus {Penemo7iQrcha) is proposed for Salvadori's species 

 axillaris, while Monarchana is to be used for Chrysomela 

 of Garnot.
