PsEPHOTUs MULTICOLOR, Temm. (Varied Parrot), [430]. 



Locality. — Speakmans. 



Platycercus semitorquatus, Q. and G. (Twenty-eight Parrot), 

 were very numerous about Speakmans, and a pair of Climacteris 

 rufa were seen at the same place. Several other species of birds 

 were seen, but without handling their identification aiust be 

 doubtful. I saw a skin of Cacatua Leadbeateri, Vig. (Pink 

 Cockatoo), which was shot at Goongarrie. I also heard of the 

 same species visiting the Soak, 14 miles due east of Speakmans. 



Speakmans, sometimes known as Callion, is situated about 85 

 miles north of Coolgardie, and about 360 miles from the coast. 

 Only five days were spent there, viz., 16th to 20th August, 1901. 

 Most of the collecting was done at sunrise, as the days were 

 otherwise fully occupied. As far as observation went, the birds 

 had not commenced nesting, but some species appeared to have 

 paired. This may be accounted for from the fact that the 

 winter rains had been very light. Only one day was spent in 

 the neighborhood of Perth, viz., 26th August.
