1920.] Western Australian Birds. 719 



Cacomantis rubricatus albani. 



Western Fan-t;iiled Cuckoos were only seen on the 

 Warren River in ]\[ai-cli I'JIO. Specimens were obtained 

 there. 



Owenavis osculans rogersi, 



I shot a Western Black-eared Cuckoo on 6 June, IDIO, on 

 the edge o£ a mangrove creek at Carnarvon. It was perched 

 on the topmost twig 01 a mangrove, and was uttering a peculiar 

 whistling or}-, w^hich was hard to locate. Another of: these 

 birds was first heard, and then seen, in some scrub on a flat 

 near the river. On 13 September, in the same year, I shot 

 a second specimen about forty miles south o£ the Minilya 

 River. Previous to the above, I had only seen two o£ these 

 birds during thirty years' residence in Western Australia. 



Neochalcites basalis wyndhami. 



Western Narrow-billed Bronze Cuckoos were seldom ob- 

 served in the mid- west in the dry year of 1011, but were 

 fairly common from Carnarvon northw^ards in August and 

 September 1913 and llUd, as is usual in a good season. 

 Two s[)ecimens were obtained by me on Dirk Hartog Island 

 in September and October 191(J respectively, and I here 

 beg to express my regret for having inadvertently called 

 them Lamprococcyx jAagosus in my paper in ' The Ibis,' 

 1917, p. 584, which error on my part has been already 

 corrected in ' The Ibis,' January 1919. 



Lamprococcyx plagosus carteri. 



Many small parties of Western Bronze Cuckoos were seen 

 by me on and about 4 March, 1916, on the edge of the 

 Margaret River. Such unusual numbers suggested a local 

 migration. An immature bird was seen at Lake Muir on 

 24 January, 1916. A male bird, not breeding, was shot by 

 me at Carnarvon on 15 August, 1911. This is the only 

 specimen that I ever obtained in mid- west district.
