^'"'i9.6^ '] White, Trip to Northern End of Flinders Ranges. i6l 



Pseudartamus cyanopterus, Latham {Artamits sordidus). Wood- 

 Swallow. — Fairly plentiful in the ranges. 



Colluricincla harmonica victor! ae, Mathews. Victorian Grey Shrike- 

 Thrush. — Numerous ; breeding. 



Grallina cyanoleuca, Latham (G. picata). Magpie-Lark.— A few 

 seen among the gum-trees in the creeks. 



Oreolca cristata, Lewin. Crested Bell-Bird. — Met with on several 

 occasions, but not common. Those seen were hopping over the 

 ground, and were very silent. 



Aphelocephala leucopsis, Gould. Whiteface. — Fairly common. It 

 is surprising to find this species so far north, for A. castaneiventris 

 whitei, Mathews, is found a little further north. 



Austrodicaeum hirundinaceum, Shaw and Hodder (Dica^um Iiirun- 

 dinaceunn. Mistletoe-Bird. — One bird seen. 



Pardalotinus striatus subaffinis, Mathews {Pardalotus s/riaitts). 

 South Australian Pardalote. — Common. Found only along the gum- 

 tree creeks. Resembles the Central form, P. s. finkei (Mathews), very 

 much, but differs in having a darker upper surface and less buff on 

 the rumjx 



Melithreptus atricapillus mallee, Mathews (M. brevirostris). Mallee 

 Brown-headed Honey-cater. — Not plentiful. 



Glicipliila melanops chandleri, Mathews (G. /i«/zn/ro»s). Victorian 

 Tawny-crowned Honey-eater. — Only a few birds met with. 



Certhionyx variegatus, Lesson {Lichnotentha picata). Pied Honey- 

 eater. — A small party of these birds was seen in the ranges feeding 

 in the Eremophila bushes. An adult male and two immature birds 

 were secured ; the latter had the whole of the under surface creamy 

 white, thickly spotted with blackish-brown spots. They were a pair, 

 and the male could be easily picked out owing to the stronger markings. 

 The erratic movements of this bird were very pronounced ; this I 

 had already noticed in the north-west of Central Australia. 



Meliphaga sonora, Gould (Ptilofis sonora). vSouthern Singing Honey- 

 eater. — Not plentiful ; still, they were thinly distributed through the 

 range-,. Specimens taken show no variation from the coastal bird, 

 nor do they differ in any way in their note. 



Lichenostomus plumulus ethelae, Mathews (Ptilotis plumula). 

 Southern Yellow-fronted Honey-eater. — Numerous all through the 

 country. Specimens taken agree with the co-type, which was collected 

 by me near Port Augusta in 191 2. 



Ptilotula penicillata leilavalensis. North {Ptilotis penicillata^K 

 Cloncurry. White-plumed Honey-eater. — Fairly numerous among the 

 gums along the creeks. Specimens taken agree with the Central 

 Australian bird, with the exception that they do not .show black 

 behind the white pencilling. 



Myzantha flavigula, Gould. Yellow-throated Miner. — Very 

 numerous all through the ranges. This bird does not seem to vary, 

 although it is distributed over thousands of miles. 



Acanthogenys rufogularis cygnus, Mathews. Southern Spiny- 

 cheeked Honey-eater. — Only one or two birds seen ; no specimens 

 taken.
