 is represented with a brush-tongue.

Watling's note : " Honey-eater. Natural size." 

 The two figures, 137, 138, represent some small species of 

 Passerine bird, but I have not been able to identify them.

 This figure is the type of Latham's " Dirigang Creeper," and 

 Dr. Gadow has wrongly identified the species. The bird which 

 he calls Climacteris scandens of Temminck is the true C. leucophsea 

 (Latham), and C. leucophsea, Gadow (Cat., p. 336), nee Latham, 

 should stand as C. picumnus, Temm. [Cf. Hellmayr, Tierr., 

 18. Lief., Paridfe, etc., p. 224 (1903).] Mr. Hellmayr rightly 

 points out that Strickland and others were wrong in assigning 

 Latham's name of leucophsea to C. picumnus, but he did not 

 succeed in identifying Latham's description, and places his 

 Certhia leucophsea among the doubtful species of Meliphaga.

 Latham writes : " This species is found at New South Wales, 

 in April." The figure is the type of M. pectoralis of Latham, 

 which, in strict priority, takes precedence of his Turdus gutturalis, 

 and the species should be known as Pachycepliala pectoralis 

 (Lath.).
