p. 226. The type of Malurus assimilis North was 

 collected in Mossgiel District, New South Wales. 



p. 232. Diaphorillas textilis modestus (North) was 

 compared by North with a bird from Petermami Creek, 

 which he considered the true " textilis " of Quoy et 

 Oaimard. This bird I have since named D. t. purneUi; 

 it differs from West Australia birds from Day Dawn 

 and Yalgo in having a shorter tail, and the throat and 

 under-surface much more suffused with reddish.

 which agree with " modestus,'' wliich latter type I have

 Broken Hill to Mossgiel District). 



The type of D. striata rufa (Campbell and Kershaw),

 upper-surface, with the feathers very rufous, and the 

 white shaft streaks not bordered with black, except 

 some of the feathers of the fore-head. It is more like 

 " oweni " (Mathews). 



The co-type (spirit specimen) collected at Lander 

 Creek, Northern Territory, June 2nd, 1911, has the 

 white shaft streaks narrowly fringed with black.

 Burton Cleland).
