I 8 MlLLIGAN, Notes on a Trip to the Stirling Range. ["isfjuly 



(32.) Falcunculus leucogaster (White-bellied Shrike-Tit). — I secured 

 three specimens in the " white gum " country. Not by any means 

 numerous. 



(33.) OREOICA CRISTATA (Bell-Bird). — Widely distributed. 



(34.) EoPSALTRlA GEORGIANA* (Grey-breasted Shrike-Robin). — Numerous 

 everywhere on good soils. Observed one nest with young on low branch 

 of white gum. 



(35.) PACHYCEPHALA OCCIDENT ALIS (Western Thickhead). 



(36.) PACHYCEPHALA RUFIVENTRIS (Rufous-breasted Thickhead). — 

 Numerous. 



(37.) CLIMACTERIS RUFA (Rufous Tree-creeper). — This was the only species 

 of Tree-creeper we saw. It was numerous on the good lands. I was much 

 interested in watching them secure their food in the soil on the edge of 

 the swamps by digging or probing with their bills. 



(38). SlTTELLA PILEATA (Black-capped Tree-runner). — Numerous in 

 timber country. 



(39.) ACANTHORHYNCHUS SUPERCILIOSUS (White-browed Spinebill). — See 

 earlier references. We discovered a pair building a nest. 



(40.) ZOSTEROPS GOULDI (Green-backed White-eye). — Well distributed. 

 Sec earlier references. 



(41.) MELITHREPTUS CHLOROPSIS (Western White-naped Honey-cater). — 

 Much in evidence in the flowering scrubs. 



(42.) MELITHREPTUS LEUCOGENYS (Western Brown-headed Honey-cater . 

 —See earlier references. 



(43). GLYCYPHILA FULVIFRONS (Tawny-crowned Honey-eater). — Very 

 numerous on foothills and sand plains. We discovered scores of nests, 

 which were invariably placed about a foot above the ground in a tussock 

 of rough herbage. The nests in all instances contained eggs. 



(44.) GLYCYPHILA OCULARIS (Brown Honey-eater). — Fairly numerous in 

 the flowering scrubs. They slightly differ in colour from the Swan River 

 bird. 



(45.) PTILOTIS SONORA (Singing Honey-eater).— We found this species 

 in one spot only, in some " sheoaks " (? Casuarina) on the south side of 

 the Ranges. The notes they uttered were peculiar, and different to any 

 I have heard before. I shot three or four, but owing to the unfortunate 

 misadventure before referred to the specimens were not put into skins. 



(46.) PTILOTIS CRATITIA (Wattle-cheeked Honey-eater). — We secured 

 several specimens of this remarkable bird. See earlier references. 



(47.) PTILOTIS ORNATA (Yellow-plumed Honey-cater). — Common in the 

 " white gum " country. 



(48.) Meliornis LONGIROSTRIS (Long-billed Honey-cater). — Common in 

 flowering thickets. 



(49.) MELIORNIS MYSTACALLS i Moustached Honey-cater).— Not common. 

 (50.) MELIORNIS SERICEA (White-cheeked Honey-eater). 



(51.) MANORHINA OBSCURA (Dusky Miner).— Numerous in "jam" 

 country. 



(52.) Acanthoch.era CARl mil ata (Wattle-Bird . Numerous in 



" white gum " country.
