THE BIRDS OF AUSTRALIA. 
Mr. J. P. Rogers wrote: “ Afc Marngle Creek I collected this species, but 
I found it very rare.” 
There is confusion regarding the naming of the subspecies, as Gould 
described it from New South Wales and I named the Western form. Then 
Stone recorded that all Gould’s birds were labelled West Australia, and as the 
Eastern and Western forms are certainly separable I had to alter the names. 
At present I believe that the bird was described from New South Wales 
and that my original nomination was valid and that these names must be 
reverted to. 
Therefore, instead of as in my “ List ” in 1913, we should read : 
Gheramoeca leucosternum leucosternum Gould. 
Eastern Australia. 
Cheramoeca leucosternum marngli Mathews. 
West Australia.
