The following year I found that Saxicola longirostris of Quoy and Gaimard 
was applicable to this species and was the oldest name as I had not at that time 
received Legge’s gularis. I allowed that the Gippsland and Victoria bird was 
separable from the New South Wales form and that the Cape Otway bird was 
still different. I however considered that my Jierbertoni was the same as Gould’s 
Icevigaster and still ranged six subspecies with the names thus : 
Sericornis longirostris longirostris (Quoy & Gaimard). 
Victoria. 
Sericornis longirostris harterti Mathews. 
Cape Otway District, Victoria. 
Sericornis longirostris rosince Mathews. 
South Australia. 
Sericornis longirostris parvulus Gould. 
New South Wales. 
Sericornis longirostris Icevigaster Gould. 
North Queensland. 
Sericornis longirostris minimus G-ould. 
Cape York District, North Queensland. 
When I reinstated frontalis as the species name, the names became : 
Sericornis frontalis frontalis (Vigors and Horsfield). 
Sericornis frontalis longirostris (Quoy and Gaimard). 
Sericornis frontalis harterti Mathews. 
Sericornis frontalis rosince Mathews. 
Sericornis frontalis Icevigaster Gould. 
Sericornis frontalis minimus Gould, 
and Captain White added Sericornis frontalis wyldei in 1916 .
