28 THE BIRDS OF CHARLEVILLE ; 
43. Seisura ingquieta, Lath. Arrived here on the 4th 
September, and was not uncommon subsequent to this date. 
- 44. Micreeca fascinans, Lath. The brown fly-catcher. 
Commonly met with. 
45. Gerygone marstersi. I only saw a few of these birds 
in this district, where they are not so abundant as at Kim- 
berley, where I discovered them during my visit in 1875, and 
subsequently met with them in 1884. They are sprightly 
little birds, having somewhat similar habits to Acanthiza, 
and frequenting with them the little bushes in the openings 
in the Mulga Scrub. 
46. Smicrornis, sp. Common. 
47. Petoeca goodenovii, Vig. and Horsf. The red-capped 
robin. Common, but I only met with it in the Mulga 
country. 
48. Melanodryas cucullata, Lath. The hooded robin. 
Abundant in the open flats adjoining the river. 
49. Malurus melanotus, G/d. The black-backed blue 
wren. I have never before met with this lovely wren, 
which appears to have been previously found only in the 
scrubs of the River Murray, where it was observed by Mr. 
Gould and his coadjutors. It is tolerably common at 
Charleville, and frequents the openings in the Mulga scrubs, 
feeding in the little bushes in company with the Acanthiza 
uropygialis. 
50. Acanthiza uropygialis, G/d. The chestnut-rumped 
acanthiza. Pretty common, and frequenting exclusively 
the Mulga country. 
51. Geobasileus chrysorrhous, Quoy.and Gaim. A some- 
what common bird in the openings in the Mulga, and nearly 
always on the ground, the red soil of which stains the under 
parts of its plumage. 
52. Chthonicola sagittata, Lath. The little chthonicola. 
Somewhat plentiful, and having the same habits and mode 
of occurrence as the last mentioned bird. 
53. Anthus australis, Vzg. and Horsf. The Australian 
pipit. Owing, perhaps, to the dearth of insect life in such 
an unfavourable season, this bird was unfrequently met with. 
54. Ptencedus rufescens, Vig. and Horsf. I only met 
with a single example of this lark-like bird, with semi- 
arboreal habits, on the 1st October.
