different islands in Torres Straits, one of the localities mentioned by 

 the last-named author being Warrior Island, whence the original 

 type of Z. albiventris came.

Sharpe, i. c. p. 183; Ramsay, t. c. p. 191. 



a. 2- Port Darwin, Oct. 1881. Bill horn-colour ; legs grey. 



This specimen is rather duUer in colour than a male from 

 Cape York, and much paler yellow below, this brighter colour 

 being probably due to sex, as • the Cape-York bird is evidently 

 an adult male. The female measures: — Total length 4-1 inches, 

 culmen 0"45, wing 2-2, tail 1"65, tarsus 0-6.

Glyciphila subocularis, pt., Gadow, t. e. p. 215. 



a. <?. Port Darwin, Nov. 1881. Bill, legs, and feet black. 



Dr. Gadow has united the present species to S. ocularis, and con- 

 siders that intermediate forms occur between them. This I do 

 not find from an examination of the series in the British Museum 

 for I have found no difficulty in referring the specimens either 

 to one or the other of the above-named species. On the other 

 hand. Count Salvadori seems to be quite right in unitipg the Aru 

 Island birds with the Australian, as they are only a little 

 larger and somewhat darker in colour. He adds that the speci- 

 mens marked Ptilotis limbata, Temm., from Timor, in the Leide 

 Museum, are also identical with the Australian S. ocularis Timo"
