122 THE BIRDS OF THE CHINCHILLA DISTRICT, 
Smicrornis brevirostris, Gould. 
S. flavescens, Gould. 
Petreeca goodenovii, Vig. and Horsf. The Red-capped Robin. 
As scarce in this as in the coastal districts of the colony. 
Melanodryas cuculata, Lath. The Hooded Robin. 
Eopsaltria australis, Lath. The Yellow-breasted Robin; a 
common bird in the southern colonies where it also breeds.

Malurus lamberti, Vig. and Horsf. Lambert’s Blue Wren, 
Malurus melanocephalus, Vig. and Horsf. 
Acanthiza uropygialis, Gould. The chestnut-rumped Acanthiza. 
This bird is to be met with in this locality throughout the 
winter and summer months. It is one of the rarest of the 
Acanthizas, and this western country appears to be its true habitat. 
It is a very active little bird, creeping through the thick bushes 
on the edge of the scrubs in quest of insect food. Its habits 
and general appearance render it difficult to procure.
