Description of Fledgling. — It is about two days since it left 
the nest. The throat and whole of the under surface are much 
lighter (greyish-white) than in the adult, and without any sign 
of the throat colour. Around the eye there is a narrow ring of 
white feathers. The wing quills are strongly edged with wax- 
yellow, as in adult; tail short ; wing 1.9 inches. 
Mr. Rogers writes about seeing one bird with rufous on sides 
of chest instead of on the throat. 
[The present species is often seen feeding within the long 
grasses. It chases flies and small beetles, occasionally darting 
straight into the air and promptly across to its perch.] This is 
a habit common amongst Southern Honey-eaters {MeliphagidcB). 
Two eggs received are dated 2/3 01.

Gould), Yellow Miner. 
Mysantha lutea, Gould, Birds Aust., fol., vol. iv., pi. 78(1848).

Eight skins received as follows : — 
a. Adult male, 4/1/00 ; wing, 4.7 inches. 
b. Adult male, 17/11/01 ; wing, 4.9 inches. 
c. Adult male, 9/3/01 ; wing, 5.05 inches. 
d. Adult male, lo/ii/oi ; wing, 5.15 inches. 
e. Adult male, 9/3/01 ; wing, 5.4 inches. 
f. Adult female (?), lo/ii/oi ; wing, 4.6 inches. 
g. Adult female, ii/ii/oi: wing, 4.85 inches. 
h. Adult female, ii/ii/oi ; wing, 5.3 inches. 
The length of wing shows these specimens to be M . flavigida 
rather than the sub-species of it. The citron-yellow is, however, 
indicative of M. hitea. 
New nest and eggs were described in the Victorian 
Naturalist, vol. xviii.. No. 2, p. 32 (1901). 
[On 30th August, 1900, a nest containing two hard-set eggs 
was found. The nest was 20 feet from the ground, neatly 
made, and bound to the horizontal fork with silky vegetable 
material.]

Bird. 
Tropidorhynchus citreogidaris, Gould, Birds Aust., fol., vol. iv., pi. 60

The youngest bird shows only a faint trace of yellow upon the 
neck, and that upon the throat. A bird of the same sex and
