Nearly allied to Ceblepyris leucomela ( Campephaga leucomela, Vig. & Horsf. ; Lanius Karu, Less.) 
but diifering from that species in its smaller size, in the greater extent of the white mark on the 
shoulders, and in nearly wanting the stripe of white which crosses the secondaries. 
Falcunculus leucogaster. Immediately above the bill a band of white, from which down the 
centre of the head a broad stripe of black feathers forming a crest ; sides of the face and head white, 
divided by a line of black, which passes through the eye to the nape ; back, shoulders and wing-coverts 
olive yellow, becoming of a brighter yellow on the rump ; primaries and secondaries brown, margined 
with olive yellow ; two outer tail-feathers white, two centre ones olive, the remainder brown, mar- 
gined with olive ; throat olive green ; chest, upper part of the breast and under tail-coverts bright 
sulphur yellow ; abdomen and thighs white ; bill black ; legs lead colour. 
Total length, 6 inches ; bill, ; wing, 3f ; tail, 2§ ; tarsi, |. 
Habitat. Australia ; locality unknown. 
For a knowledge of this new species of true Falcunculus I am indebted to the kindness of the Earl 
of Derby, who lent me the example from which the above characters are taken ; and which from the 
olive colouring of the throat may probably prove to be a female. 
Falcunculus flavigulus. Lores white ; crown of the head, and a stripe from the eye down 
the side of the neck blackish brown, above aiul beneath which are stripes of white ; back and 
upper tail coverts greenish yellow ; wings brownish grey, margined with pale brown ; tail the same, 
but having the outer web and the tips of the two side feathers, and the tips of the two next on each side 
white ; a small space under the chin white ; throat, chest, abdomen and under tail-coverts uniform 
bright yellow; bill (injured in the specimen) and legs bluish black. 
Total length, about 5| inches ; bill, ? ; wing, 3f ; tail, 2^ ; tarsi, |. 
Habitat. Australia ; locality unknown. 
This species, independently of its smaller size, may be readily distinguished from all the others by the 
uniform yellow colouring of the under surface from the chin to the vent. It would seem that this 
bird was overlooked by Messrs. Vigors and Horsfield who appear to have thought it identical with 
F. gutturalis. 
Eopsaltria parvulus. Crown of the head, ear-coverts, back of the neck and back dark grey ; 
throat and lower part of the chest greyish white ; rump olive ; wings and tail brown, the extreme tips 
of the latter greyish white ; chest and all the under surface bright yellow ; bill black ; feet brown. 
Total length, 5^ inches ; bill. | ; wing, 3 ; tail, 2J ; tarsi, |. 
Habitat. New South Wales. 
Tlie genus Eopsaltria was instituted by Mr. Swainson for the Yellow-breasted Thrush of Lewin, 
{Pachjcephala Australis, of Vig. and Horsf.) to which the present bird is nearly allied. 
Eopsaltria griseogularis. Crown of the head, ear-coverts, sides and back of the neck, and back 
grey ; throat and chest greyish white ; abdomen, rump, upper and under tail-coverts rich yellow ; wing3 
and tail greyish brown, the extreme tips of the latter edged with white ; bill and feet blackish brown. 
Total length, 6 inches ; bill, | ; wing, 3;^ ; tail, 2§ ; tarsi, |. 
Habitat. Swan River. 
Closely allied to Eopsaltria Australis. In the Collection of Fort Pitt, at Chatham. 
Sericulus magnirostris. Forehead, cheeks, sides of the throat, and under surface dusky greyish 
white, each feather margined with brown ; on the hinder part of the crown and occiput a square patch 
of velvety black, and an irregular line of the same colour down the centre of the throat; back of the 
neck, back and scapularies greyish white in the centre, margined all round with brown ; wings, rump 
and tail olive brown, some of the secondaries tipped with greyish white ; bill and feet black. 
Total length, inches; bill, 1^; wing, 5^; tail, 4|; tarsi, 1^. 
Habitat. Van Diemen's Land ? 
This is in every respect a true Sericulus ; and from what we know of the changes of the common 
species (^S. chrysocephalus) I conceive that it may prove to be a female, or immature bird.
