THE BIRDS OF AUSTRALIA. 
Price Fletcher, however, has recorded that in the neighbourhood of the 
Gulf of Carpentaria (the type locality) he usually observed them frequenting 
marshy and long grassy swamps instead of dry plains as do the other 
Ephthianuras or Bush-Chats. 
The two subspecies I separated in 1912 are still recognisable as : 
Leachena crocea crocea (Castelnau and Ramsay). 
Interior of Queensland. 
Leachena crocea lunneyi (Mathews). 
A deeper coloured bird. 
Interior of Northern Territory (Arnhem Land) 
and North-west Australia.
