92 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD [Vol. II. 



p. 148. Add after Cyanalcyon madeayii distinguendus 

 Mathews — 

 Cyanalcyon macleayii cceruleus. 

 Northern Forest Kingfisher. 



Halcyon macleayii eoerideus Ashby, South Austr. 

 Ornith., Vol. I., p. 20, 1914 ; Port Keats, Northern 

 Territory. 



p. 156. Cacomantis castaneiventris bihagi, subsp. n. 



Differs from C. c. castaneiventris in being much darker 

 on the under-surface. 



Type No. 4221 from Bihagi, head of the Mambare 

 River, British New Guinea. 



p. 158. Add as synonym to Lamprococcyx m. minutillus 

 Gould- — 



ChRYSOCOCCYX MINUTrLLTJS MELVILLENSIS Zietz, 



South Austr. Ornith., Vol. I., p. 14, 1914 ; Melville Island. 



p. 160. An earher reference to Mcenura lyrata is the 

 introduction by Dumont, Diet. Sci. Nat. (Levrault), 

 Vol. XXX., p. 50, 1824 : Ncav South Wales. 



p. 169. Pucheran (loc. cit., p. 347) has recognized 

 (Enanthe pectoralis Vieillot, Nouv. Diet. d'Hist., Vol. XXL, 

 p. 436, 1818 : " Timor " as equivalent to Petroica bicolor 

 Swainson. 



This indicates that the locality is incorrect and that 

 the bird came from Austraha. I select New South 

 Wales as the type locahty and the name therefore 

 becomes a synonym of Melanodryas cucullata cucullata. 



p. 170. Amaurodryas vittata kingi, subsp. n. 



Differs from A . v. vittata in having a buff breast instead 

 of a grey one. 



Type, King Island.

Amaurodryas vittata bassi, subsp. n. 



Differs from A. v. vittata in having a very dark under- 

 surface ; it is also darker above.
