ORANGE-WINGED TREERUNNER. 
flock works over a fairly large area, and the birds are sometimes not seen for 
weeks.” 
There has been little w r ritten about the life history as above recorded, and 
owing to the restricted range of the species there is not much technical history. 
In my “ Reference List ” in 1912 I allowed two subspecies : 
Neositta chrysoptera chrysoptera (Latham). 
Queensland, New South Wales. 
Neositta chrysoptera lathami Mathews. 
“Dilfers from N. c. chrysoptera in its paler coloration above and below, 
the under-surface being almost white (Parwan) Victoria.” 
Victoria, South Australia. 
As both Captain S. A. White and E. Ashby have written me that they 
have not met with this species in South Australia, I have questioned that 
locality in this place, and its range in Queensland is at present unknown, probably 
only occurring in the south of that State. Otherwise, only the above two 
subspecies are yet recognised and the above arrangement is still tenable.
