THE BIRDS OF AUSTRALIA. 
with Gerygone palpebrosa Wallace described from the Aru Islands, and that 
this name had priority. The only difference is in the intense black coloration 
of the throat, and it may be noted that the vernacular selected for the 
Australian bird is Black-throated Flyeater. Recent specialists writing on New 
Guinea birds have not commented on this affinity, though G. personata was 
recorded from S.E. New Guinea, and afterward the identification altered to 
G. palpebrosa. 
I admit three Australian subspecies whose names will now be : 
Pseudogerygone palpebrosa personata Gould. 
Cape York. 
Lighter in coloration, especially as to the throat patch, than the typical 
form. 
Pseudogerygone palpebrosa watsoni Mathews. 
Watson River district, N.Q. 
Still fighter as to the throat patch. 
Pseudogerygone palpebrosa flavida (Ramsay). 
Herbert River district, N.Q. 
The throat patch evanescent, only indicated. 
The extra-fimital forms may be : 
Pseudogerygone palpebrosa palpebrosa (Wallace). 
Aru Islands. 
Throat patch dense black. The South-east New Guinea form may be 
distinct, as also the Arfak form, which will be called : 
Pseudogerygone palpebrosa melanothorax (Salvadori).
