THE BIRDS OF AUSTRALIA. 
That many more subspecies would be named was certain from the published 
accounts such as Milligan’s from the Wongan Hills, West Australia and Alexander 
from the Perth district. 
Further, in the British Museum is a form of this species from Lithgow, 
New South Wales, suggesting that it occurs inland through that State. These 
birds are darker above with less rufous tinge than South Australian birds and 
the flanks are noticeably darker. These may be called : 
Sericornis maculatus inopinatus subsp. nov. 
while a series from Mount Gambier, South Australia, from the Gould collection 
and which puzzled him should also be named. They are noticeably paler than 
Port Adelaide birds, not unlike S. m. mellori but more dusky below, the throat 
with narrower streaks, and may be called: 
Sericornis maculatus gouldianus subsp. nov.
