NEW SPECIES AND SUBSPECIES OF 

 AUSTRALIAN BIRDS. 



By Gregory M. Mathews. 



(The pages are those of my List of the Bibds of Australia.) 



p. 12. Reginopus, gen. nov. 

 Type, Ptilinopus ewingii Gould. 



p. 111. Falco hypoleucus ashbyi. 

 Eastern Grey Falcon. 



This new subspecies differs from F. h. hypoleucus 

 Gould in being darker above and light blue-grey on 

 the under-surface — not white ; all the feathers have a 

 dark centre-hne. The tail is barred. 



Type, South Australia. 



Gould figured the bird from West Australia beautifully 

 in his Birds of Austraha. This plate he afterwards 

 cancelled, and later figured the birds collected by 

 Captain Sturt at the Depot, South Austraha. Those 

 who, hke myself, have the cancelled plate, can see the 

 difference by comparing the two. ^,--— T f*~-^
