Birds of Australia, Vol. iv. pi. 81), with the deep tawny-buff 
flanks and the grey throat shows the autumn and winter attire, and 
Z. ( Dacnis ) wester nensis, Quoy and Gaimard (Yoyage de 1' Astro- 
labe, T. i. p. 216, and Atlas, plate 11, fig. 4) with the bright 
olive-yellow throat and very pale tawny-brown flanks, the spring 
and summer livery. Among the specimens exhibited by Mr. 
North and bearing out his statements was one captured in his 
garden at Ashfield on the 26th inst., which shows a transition 
from the winter to the spring plumage, the grey throat being 
faintly washed with olive-yellow, and the flanks nearly as pale as 
specimens obtained in the summer. Z. wester nensis, Quoy and 
Gaim., and other writers must therefore become a synonym of the 
older name Z. ccerulescens, of Latham.
