^°'" -^^^J White, Expedition to MusgYave and Everard Ranges. IQI 



Certhionyx variegatus {Lichnoientha picata). Pied Honey-eater. — 

 Rare ; a few birds seen amongst the granite outcrops. 



Meliphaga s. sonora {Ptilotis sonora). Singing Honey-eater. — 



Very numerous all through the country. 



Lichenostomus keartlandi, sub-sp. ? (Ptilotis keartlandi). Grey- 

 headed Honey-eater. — Fairly numerous in the ranges. The whole 

 of the plumage, especially the yellow on breast and throat, is much 

 brighter than that of the birds from the type locality. 



Lichenostomus plumulus ethelse {Ptilotis plumula). Southern 

 Yellow-fronted Honey-eater. — Numerous in some localities. 



Ptilotula penicillata leilavalensis {Ptilotis leilavalensis). Cloncurry 

 White-plumed Honey-eater. — Plentiful. This bird shows a dark line 

 beside the ear coverts ; North's bird does not show any dark, I 

 believe. 



Myzantha f. flavigula (M. flavigula). Yellow-throated Miner. — A 

 common bird along the dry water-courses. 



Acanthogenys rufogularis cygnus {A. rufigularis). Southern Spiny- 

 cheeked Honey-eater. — Plentiful wherever flowering shrubs were 

 found. 



Anthus a. australis {A. australis). Australian Pipit. — Thinly dis- 

 tributed over the country. 



Taeniopygia c. castanotis {T. castanotis). Chestnut-eared Finch. — 

 Wherever there was water these birds were found in great numbers. 



Emblema picta ethelae * {E. picta). Painted Finch. — Very rare ; 

 only found in the deep gorges of the Musgrave Ranges. 



Chlamydera maculata macdonnelli ? (C. macu/ata). Yellow-spotted 

 Bower-Bird. — Very shy ; only one or two birds seen, confined to the 

 ranges. 



Corvus coronoides perplexus ? (C coronoides). Southern Raven — 

 I am completely puzzled by these birds. Skins were collected with 

 white basal half to feathers, while others had them almost black. 

 The majority had white eyes ; a few had hazel or light brown eyes. 



Neostrepera, sp. ? (Strepera, sp. ?) — This bird comes between N. 

 versicolor intermedia and N. v. plumbea, being lighter in plumage 

 than the first-named and much darker than N. v. plumbea. The 

 bird is much larger than that of either of these sub-species. Found 

 in the Everard Range, where it was very rare and shy. 



Treasurer's Note. — Members who have not yet paid their 

 annual subscriptions are reminded that the hon. treasurer (Mr. 

 Z. Gray, 190 Bridport-street, South Melbourne) will be glad to 

 receive them at once, so that the year's accounts may be satis- 

 factorily squared up.
