BROWN TIT. 
The specimens received from Mr. T. P. Austin to be criticised as not con- 
forming to North’s albiventris are decidedly distinct as they have pale fulvous 
under tail-coverts and fulvous flanks while the rump coloration and general 
upper coloration is brighter grey. 
This leaves only the two Queensland subspecies to be dealt with but 
it is more than probable that several subspecies can be recognised in that 
territory. 
The two already distinguished are : 
Acanthiza pusilla leather ina De Vis 
from the Bellenden Ker Range, North Queensland and : 
Acanthiza pusilla bunya Mathews 
from the Bunya Mountains, South Queensland. 
These agree in their lack of noticeable throat striping and their paler 
yellowish-buff flank coloration, their upper coloration as well as that of the 
tail resembling that of Acanthiza pusilla pusilla. The Queensland lowland 
birds examined have been too few to determine subspecies on but they are 
somewhat intermediate between these and the typical series. 
As noted above I now indicate the forms which agree in detail better with 
Acanthiza pusilla than with Acanthiza pyrrhopygia as also the birds certainly 
agreeable with the latter type :
