THE BIRDS OF AUSTRALIA. 
slightly streaked or striated, especially on head and mantle. These are, no 
doubt, Hartert’s cinereiceps, which may be distinguished from eastern and 
northern coast birds by their decidedly lighter colouring”; adding later: “A 
mature skin, but unsexed, from Cossack, which confirms the opinion that the 
two specimens previously collected by Whitlock were not adults, and that it is 
Hartert’s cinereiceps. It has been found farther south, at North-West Cape, 
by Carter.” 
Carter’s note reads : “Only one specimen of the White- tailed Shrike Robin 
was observed by me, and shot, in a dense patch of mangroves near the North- 
West Cape, February 23, 1902. It was hopping about on the mud beneath the 
mangroves and occasionally uttering a clear whistling note, which attracted 
my attention.” 
Re-examination enables the constant recognition of the named subspecies, 
and it is probable that when Campbell criticises more material he will, as in 
most other cases, conclude that the subspecies I have named are different 
forms, and will revise his conclusions accordingly. In connection with the 
new generic name here introduced, I give the subspecies named : 
Peneoenanthe leucura leucura (Gould). 
Cape York to Cardwell, North Queensland. 
Peneoenanthe leucura normani (Mathews). 
Norman River district, West Queensland. 
Peneoenanthe leucura greda (Mathews). 
Melville Island, Northern Territory. 
Peneoenanthe leucura alligator (Mathews). 
Northern Territory. 
Peneoenanthe leucura connectens (Mathews). 
North-west Australia. 
Peneoenanthe leucura cinereiceps (Hartert). 
Mid-West Australia. 
Extra-limital : 
Peneoenanthe leucura pulverulenta (Salvadori). 
New Guinea. 
Myiolestes pulverulentus Bonaparte is a nomen nudum.
