The Emu. 
numbers — generally in pairs before. While visiting a gorge in 
the Grant Range I found them in nearly every tree in bloom. 
Being shy, and flying continuously from tree to tree, I had 
difficulty in securing the skins for identification. In the trees 
the yellow back is not so conspicuous as one is led to believe 
by handling a skin. The only note I heard was a short, rather 
musical one, with a strange grating sound through it.] 
23. Glycyphila ALBIFRONS (Gould), White-fronted Honey- 
eater. 
Glycyphila albifrons, Gould, Birds Aust., fol, vol. iv-., pi. 29 (1848) ; 
Gadow, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus., vol. ix., p. 211 (1884). 
a. b. Adult males, 1 1/2/00. 
c. Adult female, 1 1/2/00. 
[The stomach of b was full of very small beetles (12/2/00). 
When shot a considerable quantity of honey came out.] 
This tends to show the species is an insect-eater as well as a 
honey-eater, which is so with other members of the MelipJiagidce. 
23A. Glycyphila ocularis (Gould), Brown Honey-eater. 
Glycyphila ocularis^ Gould, Birds Aust., fol., vol. iv., pi. 31 (1848) ; 
Gadow, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus., vol. ix., p. 213 (1884). 
Eight skins to hand — four males and four females, only two 
being fully adult. One is bleached and olive-brown. Dates of 
collection — 26/1/01,4/3/00, 14/5/00, 15/7/00. 
[The notes are musical. One bird came to a bush near my 
camp (4/2/00), and sang at intervals for a few minutes.] 
24. Entomophila leucomelas (Cuvier), Pied Honey-eater. 
Melicophiia picata^ Gould, Birds Aust., fol., vol. iv., pi. 49 (1848). 
Entoinoi.hila leucomelas^ Gadow, Brit. Mus. Cat. Birds, vol. ix., p. 220

Three adult males, 27/12/00, 17/2/00, 22/2/00. 
One adult female, 17/2/00. 
[When disturbed in a tree, a flock will rise to a great height 
in the air, and then fall suddenly into another tree a few 
hundred yards away. They are very shy. Just now (28/2/00), 
there are large flocks of this bird flying at times in a circular 
way high in the air.] 
25. Entomophila rufigularis (Gould), Red-throated Honey-
