120 THE BIRDS OF THE CHINCHILLA DISTRICT, 
Dacelo gigas, Bood. The Laughing Jackass. 
Halcyon sanctus, Vig. and Horsf. The Sacred Kingfisher. 
Halcyon Macleayi, Jar. and Selb. Macleay’s Kingfisher. 
Aleyone agurea, Lath. 
Artamus sordidus. I observed this Wood Swallow (for the first 
time on the 6th June) on its northward migration. 
Artamus minor, Vieilloh. The Little Wood Swallow, which 
left here during the middle of April. 
Artamus personatus, Gould. The Masked Wood Swallow; is 
here during the summer months. 
Artamus superciliosus, Gould. The White-eyebrowed Wood 
Swallow ; is here during the summer months, and remains 
until May. I saw one on 11th May. 
Pardalotus punctatus, Temm. The Spotted Diamond Bird ; is 
rather a scarce species at Chinchilla, as far as my experi- 
ence goes. ' 
Pardalotus striatus, Vig. and Horsf. The Striated Diamond Bird. 
I have included under this specific name four specimens— 
three females and a male. They are evidently the local repre- 
sentatives of this species from which they differ in haying the 
first and third primaries only, instead of the whole number, 
edged with white. The speculum in each example is uniform 
scarlet coloured. What is the range of this race has yet to be 
determined. 
Pardalotus assimilis, Ramsay. 
A further example of this section of the diamond birds may 
be with some doubt referred to this species. It has the third 
and fourth primaries as well as the first, edged with white, and 
a reddish-yellow speculum. 
Pardalotus melanocephulus, Gld. The Black-headed Diamond 
Bird. 
Strepera graculina, White. The Pied Crow-shrike. 
Strepera anaphonensis, Tem. The Grey Crow-shrike. 
Gymnorhina tibicen, Lath. The Piping Crow-shrike.
