584 MR. E. P. RAMSAY ON [ Nov. 16, 
53. GRAUCALUS HYPOLEUCUS. 
54. GRAUCALUS SWAINSONI. 
Both species seem plentiful and confined to the scrubs and bushes. 
55. ARTAMUS SORDIDUS. 
56. ARTAMUS LEUCOPYGIALIS. 
57. ARTAMUS CINEREUS. 
All plentiful after the breeding-season ; they move about in troops, 
sometimes all three species together, sometimes separately and visit- 
ing certain localities alternately. The young of 4. cinereus are striated 
with whitish on the head and back, like the young of other members 
of the genus. 
58. ARTAMUS MINOR (Vieill.). 
My collector obtained several of this species from a troop visiting 
Salt-water Creek, near Cardwell; they frequented the open parts of 
the forest-lands and paddocks in the vicinity. I have met with them 
as far south as the Mary river. There is no difference in the plumge 
of the sexes. 
59. PARDALOTUS MELANOCEPHALUS. 
Perhaps the most common species. It resorts to the topmost 
leafy twigs, where it secures its food of insects and their larvee. The 
nest is at the end of a long narrow burrow in the side of a bank, 
where a chamber is hollowed out and lined with narrow strips of 
bark or grasses for the reception of the eggs, which are 4 in number, 
snow-white, and a little larger than those of P. punctatus. 
60. PaRDALOTUS PUNCTATUS. 
This seems a rare species, and was only met with once. P. affnis 
and P. striatus were not obtained within 100 miles of Cardwell, and 
have consequently been omited from this list; I have no doubt, 
however, that they will eventually be found in the Rockingham Bay 
district. 
61. STREPERA ANAPHONENSIS. 
I met with this easily recognized species upon several occasions in 
the open forest-country about the head-waters of the Herbert. 
62. CAMPEPHAGA KARU. 
63. CAMPEPHAGA JARDINII. 
Both species commonly found among the leafy boughs of trees on 
the margins of scrubs. 
64. PacHYCEPHALA RUFIVENTRIS. 
65. PACHYCEPHALA MELANURA. 
I dic not find either of these species plentiful, and only obtained one 
of each.
