FLAME-BREASTED ROBIN. 
Zool. Soc. for 1836, containing the description, was not published until 
February 20th, 1837. In the Synopsis the definite locality of New South 
Wales is given and the head of the bird there figured shows a small white 
spot. It is certain we must now revert to the older nomenclature and admit : 
Littlera chrysoptera chrysoptera (Quoy & Gaimard). 
Tasmania. 
Littlera chrysoptera albicans (Mathews). 
Victoria ; South Australia. 
Littlera chrysoptera phcenicea (Gould). 
New South Wales. 
Of the last-named P. c. addenda Mathews is a synonym. 
Mellor and White report that the species was ffairly plentiful on Flinders 
Island. This island (sic) form appeared much lighter, both above and below 
(perhaps due to the time of year) than the Tasmanian bird.
