THE BIRDS OE AUSTRALIA. 
The names then read : 
Cinclosoma castaneothorax castaneothorax Gould. 
Queensland. 
Cinclosoma castaneothorax marginatum Sharpe. 
North-west Australia. 
Cinclosoma castaneothorax nea Mathews. 
West Australia (Day Dawn). 
Cinclosoma cinnamomeum Gould. 
South and Central Australia. 
Cinclosoma alisteri Mathews. 
West Australia. 
A little later I introduced the genus name Samuela for this series of small 
desert Ground-Birds, but in my 1913 “List” I inadvertently used the name 
for cinnamomeum alone, leaving the other two with their subspecies under 
Cinclosoma. 
I added later : 
Samuela cinnamomea samueli, 
writing: “Differs from S. c. cinnamomea Gould (restricted locality, Einke River, 
Central Australia) in being paler. Type, Gawler Ranges, South Australia.” 
Re-examining the specimens available (still few in number) with Ashby’s 
suggestion in mind, I consider that these should be treated as subspecies 
only, the bird I named Cinclosoma alisteri being altogether distinct ; the names 
then being : 
Samuela cinnamomea cinnamomea (Gould). 
Central Australia. 
Samuela cinnamomea castaneothorax (Gould). 
Interior of Queensland. 
Samuela cinnamomea marginata (Sharpe). 
Interior of North-west Australia. 
Samuela cinnamomea nea (Mathews). 
Interior of West Australia. 
Samuela cinnamomea samueli Mathews. 
Gawler Ranges, South Australia.
