404) Mr. C. Ingram on the Birds of 
a. 2 adult. Alexandra, April1905. Bill greyish brown; 
feet pale brown ; iris yellow. 
5. Adult. Alexandra. 
In both specimens the backs are of a lighter shade and of a 
more yellowish hue than in those in the National Collection; 
they are also considerably brighter on the under surface of 
the body, that part being bright canary-yellow instead of 
sulphur-yellow. 
Having such a limited series for comparison (there are 
only five examples in the British Museum), I do not think 
it justifiable to separate these birds from Gould’s Smicrornis 
flavescens, but the difference is very marked and worthy of 
attention.

RHIPIDURA ALBISCAPA.

Austr. B. i. p. 108 (1901). 
a. Adult. Alexandra. 
This example is noticeably paler and greyer than those 
labelled R. albiscapa in the British Museum. Unfortunately 
the head has been accidentally severed from the body at a 
point where the black band ought to be shown on the lower 
throat, so my specimen is rather difficult to determine with 
certainty ; it may possibly belong to the closely allied species 
R. preissi Cabanis.
