form should be separated from Sericornis I. longiroslris, of South Gipps- 

 land. The while eyebrow of Sericornis I. harterti is certainly more 

 conspicuous, and on the breast and abdomen this form has a beautiful 

 shading of buft, which is only slightly discernible in the Gippsland 

 form. The rufous colour on the back and lower rump of Sericornis 

 I. loH'^irostris is almost missing in the Cape Otway form. The bill 

 of Sericornis I. longirostris is mucli stouter and slightly shorter than 

 that of Sericornis I. harterti, and in llic latter it is slightly curved or 

 hooked.
