Forehead black ; crown of the head black, with a stripe of white down the centre of each feather,

 joined by a stripe of white, which leads nearly to the occiput ; back of the neck and the back greyish 

 olive brown ; rump and upper tail-coverts yellowish olive brown ; wings blackish, each of the pri- 

 maries having a fine round spot of white near the tip, and the third externally edged with white, the 

 secondaries margined with white and rufous, and the tips of the spurious wing yellow ; tail blackish 

 brown, each feather having a transverse mark of white at the tip ; ear-coverts and cheeks grey ; throat 

 yellow ; middle of the chest and centre of the abdomen light yellow intermixed with white ; flanks

Pardalotus qffinis, Gould in Proc. of Zool. Soc, Part V., 1837. 



Remark. This species differs from Pardalotus striatus in having a larger bill, a longer wing, and 

 a longer tarsus, and in the absence of the white margination of the five primaries ; the tips of the 

 spurious wing in the present species is yellow, while in Pardalotus striatus the same part is scarlet. 

 I am somewhat disposed to believe that the bird figured by Dr. Latham may be referrible to this spe- 

 cies, and not to the following. 



Habitat. Australia : locality, Van Diemen's Land.
