  The 
  differences 
  between 
  this 
  species 
  and 
  31. 
  rubecula 
  are, 
  to 
  my 
  

   mind, 
  not 
  satisfactorily 
  established 
  ; 
  but 
  until 
  better 
  specimens 
  reach 
  

   the 
  British 
  Museum 
  from 
  N.W. 
  Australia 
  (the 
  habitat 
  of 
  the 
  typical 
  

   31. 
  concinna) 
  it 
  will 
  be 
  difficult 
  to 
  settle 
  the 
  question.
