BLACK AND WHITE FANTAIL. 
and two from Richmond River 95 and 96. This clearly indicates the eastern 
birds are larger than the Northern Territory ones. He recorded two from 
Cape York as 91-98, but there is doubt as to the localities. From West Australia 
he measured four males 102-104, one female 98, and two from South-west 
Australia, a male 101 and female 96. 
I had separated the Cape York form as R. t. utingu as being less than the 
Northern Territory form, so that we now have four subspecies. Stresemann 
has examined the type specimen of tricolor in the Paris Museum and found it 
had the small bill of the Sydney form, all the extra-Australian forms agreeing 
in having large bills. The species name is leucophrys. 
The names will be : 
Leucocirca leucophrys leucophrys (Latham). 
Eastern Australia from South Queensland 
to South Australia. 
Leucocirca leucophrys utingu (Mathews). 
North Queensland. 
Leucocirca leucophrys picata (Gould). 
Northern Territory and North-west Australia. 
Leucocirca leucophrys carteri subsp. nov. 
South-west Australia. 
The largest form, bill measurement 12 mm. : wing 106. Type Broome Hill, 
June 25th, 1906.
