THE BIRDS OF AUSTRALIA. 
My collector, Mr. J. P. Rogers, met with this bird in the North-west near 
Mnngi, north of Joanna Springs. 
The erratic movements of this species, and its rarity owing to its restricted 
range in the interior, do not tend to the acceptance of subspecific forms, and 
consequently I do not maintain in this work the subspecies I recently separated. 
It does not appear certain, however, that the same b irds range across the continent, 
but rather northwards and southwards. This suggestion seems confirmed by 
the field notes given above from Mr. Keartland, the worker who has seen more 
than all the other workers together. In every way it is an interesting form and 
worthy of study.
