Acanthogenys rufigularis Gould, P. Z. 8. 1837, p. 153 (New 
South Wales).

a. 6 adult. Alexandra Spring, Oct. 30. Bill and feet 
black. 
I can find no record of this Honey-eater having occurred 
in the Northern Territory. 
Campbell gives the geographical distribution of this bird 
as being S. Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South, 
West, and North-west Australia. Hall records it from the 
Fitzroy River (‘ Emu,’ i. p. 102). 
PHILEMON ARGENTICEDS. 
Philemon argenticeps (Gould) ; Campbell, Nests & Eggs 
Austr. B. i. p. 434 (1901) ; Hartert, Nov. Zool. xii. p. 232 
(Victoria River; Pine Creek ; South Alligator River ; 
Eureka; Brook’s Creek). 
No. 86. @ adult. Alexandra, Nov. 2, 1905. Bill and 
feet black ; iris light blue. 
MIRAFRA RUFESCENS. 
Mirafra rufescens Ingram, Bull. B. O. C. xvi. p. 116 
(July 10, 1906). 
Resembles M. woodwardi in the fulvescent tone of its 
plumage, but is everywhere paler. The brown centres 
to the feathers of the back are less conspicuous than in 
typical examples of that species, while the striations on 
the chest are almost obsolete. As this pale form is distinctly 
rufous in the coloration of its plumage, it is obviously separ- 
able from Mr. Hall’s desert-race, a greyish form that he has 
raised to subspecific rank under the name of M. horsfieldi 
pallidus (‘ Emu, vol. iii. p. 232). 
a. d adult. Alexandra, April 1905. Bill brown; feet 
pale brown; iris brown. 
6. 2 adult. Alexandra. 
The food consists of insects and seeds.
