REVISION OP THE GENUS MALURUS. 
It is impossible to say how far westward this very distinct 
race extends until more collecting has been done between 
Borroloola and the Victoria River. 
MoIuyus (R.) coronatus macgillivrayi Mathews. 
Malurus coronatus macgillivrayi Mathews, Aust. Avian Rec., 2, p. 9, 
1913 ; Leichardt River, North-west Queensland. 
“Differs from M. c. coronatus in having a bluish-mauve crown to its head, 
not pinkish-mauve, and the black collar on the nape only indicated.” (Mathews.) 
It is not possible to refer any specimen here. The bluish 
tinge on the head and the lack of a complete black band on the 
hind neck suggest a specimen in the process of assuming full 
plumage.
