THE BIRDS OF AUSTRALIA. 
I diagnosed Diaphorillas textilis purnelli as : “ Differs from I), t. modestus 
in having the throat dark buff streaked with white ; the tail is shorter, and 
the bill is thin and pointed,” and later added “ This was considered true 
textilis by North ; it differs from West Australia birds from Day Dawn and 
Yalgoo in having a shorter tail, and the throat and under-surfaces much more 
suffused with reddish.”
