361. EOPSALTRL\ GRISEOGULARIS, Old. {E. areorgicina, Ouoy and Gaim.), 

 (Grey-breasted Shrike-Robin). 



The nest and eggs were found on the 12th October. A few miles out 

 from Wangary, at the base of the Marble Range, there was some scrub 

 through which a creek meandered. It was good country for many species, 

 including this species. 



Loc. — Wanilla and Marble Range. Hab. — 6, 9. 



265. Pachycephala pectoralis, Lath. [P. guttiiralis), (White-throated 

 Thickhead). 



I have not marked this bird P. ineridioiialis^ because it appears to differ, 

 even though it be slightly. The eastern P. pectoralis is deeper in shade of 

 colour than P. nieridionalis or the Eyre Peninsula bird, yet they appear to 

 be races of it, just as P. occidenfalis is considered to be a race of P. pec- 

 toralis. P. nieridionalis appears to be the connecting link between the 

 Eastern and Western forms. The tails of the two specimens secured did not 

 agree with each other. The tail of one had black faintly and indefinitely 

 placed upon it, while on the other the basal half was grey. 



Loc— Wanilla and Marble Range. Hab. — 4, 6. 



271. Pachycephala rufiventris, Lath. (Rufous-breasted Thickhead). 

 Loc— Wanilla. Hab. — 4, 6, 7, 9. 



289. Neositta (Sittella) pileata, Gld. (Black-capped Tree-runner). 

 Young and adult were collected by Capt. White. 

 Loc. — Near Koppio. Hab. — 4, 6, 7, 9. 



301. ZOSTEROPS ccerulescens, Lath. (Silver-eye). 

 Loc— Mortlock. Hab.— 4, 6, 7. 



313. Melithreptus brevirostris, Vig. and Hors. (Brown-headed 

 Honey-eater). 

 In one tree we observed a dozen of this species. 

 Loc. — Wanilla. Hab. — 4, 6, 7, 9. 



317. Glycyphila melanops, Lewin (6^. fiihnfrons), (Tawny-crowned 

 Honey-eater). 



Several specimens were secured, and we were attracted by the pale 

 markings of fulvous. At first we were disposed to mark them as a race., but, 

 finding one of a deeper shade, it is entered as a variable bird. 



Loc. — Mortlock, Wanilla, Kellidie Bay, and Marble Range. Hab. — 4,6, 9. 



334. Ptilotis sonora, Gld. (Singing Honey-eater). 

 Loc. — Kellidie Bay. Hab.— 4, 6, 7, 9. 



344. Ptilotis cratitia, Gld. (Wattle-cheeked Honey-eater). 

 Recognized by Dr. Angove. 

 Loc. — Wanilla. Hab. — 6, 9. 



348. Ptilotis ornata, Gld. (Yellow-plumed Honey-eater). 

 Loc. — Wanilla. Hab. 4, 6, 9. 



354. Meliornis nov^-hollandl«. Lath. (New Holland Honey-eater). 



Dr. George Home noticed eighteen young in one tree, with their parents 

 about and feeding them (Wanilla, 14 10,09). Such an occurrence, of the 

 young bunching, I have noticed with the Rock-hopper Penguin in Kerguelen 

 Island. This Honey-eater is the common bird of the Peninsula where our 

 camp was pitched. In the low scrub that extends over a large area, and 

 where birds are not strong in species, this one and Glycypiula melanops 

 were numerically strong. 



363. Anthoch.era (Acanthoch^era) carunculata, Lath. (Red Wattle- 

 Bird). 

 Loc. — Wanilla. Hab. — 4, 6, 7, 9.
