114 Zoology. 



No. 30. Yellow-bellied Shrike, Lath., Gen. Syn.^Suppl. ii.,p. 75. 



Lanius flavig aster, Lath., Ind. Orn., Suppl., p. xix. 

 " Natural size. Native name Wee-bung. It is not a common 

 bird, and it drives all smaller birds from its neighbourhood " 

 (Watling MS.). This looks like a yellow-bellied Pachycephalia, 

 but it has no black pectoral collar, and I cannot identify the 

 figure with any known Australian species. 



No. 31. Frontal Shrike, Lath., Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., p. 75. 

 Lanius frontatus, Lath., Ind. Orn., Suppl., p. xviii. 

 Falcunculus frontatus, Gadow, Cat. B., viii., p. 173. 

 Watling's note : " One half the natural size. Not a common 

 bird. The tongue is a little bifid." 



No. 32. Frontal Shrike, Lath., Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., p. 75, 



pi. 122. 

 Watling's note : " Natural size. Supposed to be the male of 

 No. 2. It is a rare bird, never seen but in the cold or winter 

 months. It is found near water, and often feeding on the seed 

 of reeds in marsh or wet grounds." 



No. 33. White-eared Shrike, Lath. [MS.] ; Gen. Hist. B., ii., 



p. 76 (1822). 

 This drawing and the next are apparently meant for Falcun- 

 culus frontatus, but they are given a large white patch on the 

 ear-coverts instead of a double band of white above and below 

 the latter. The double band is correct, and no such bird as the 

 " White-eared Shrike " has been found by me. 



Watling's note : " Two-thirds the natural size. Native name 

 Tattanan." 



No. 34. White-eared Shrike, Lath. MS. [ = No. 33]. 

 Watling's note says only : " Natural size." 

 No. 35. Red-breasted or Blue-bellied Parrot, Lath., Gen. 

 Syn., i., pp. 212 and 213. 

 Psittacus hsematodus, Lath., Ind. Orn., i.,p. 87 (nee Linn.). 

 Trichoglossus novse hollandise (Gm.), Salvad., Cat. B., xx., 

 p. 57. 

 Watling's note : " Native name Goevil. This Parrot has a 

 fine white tongue like the drawing No. 300 [= 36 of the volume], 

 Psittacus hsematodus var. ; called the Blue-bellied Parrot, see 

 Latham, Syn." 



Nos. 36 and 37. Two-thirds the natural size. Red-breasted 

 Parrot, Lath. Watling's note : " Native name is Goo-veel." 



These three drawings are evidently intended for the same 

 species.
