BLUE-FACED HONEY-EATER. 
“ Differs from E. c. albipennis in its larger size and heavier bill. Parry’s Creek, 
North-west Australia.” 
North-west Australia 
I later added 
Entomyzon cyanotis apsleyi. 
“Differs from E. c. albipennis in its smaller size.” 
Melville Island, 
and 
Entomyzon cyanotis hedleyi. 
“Differs from E. c. harterti in its smaller size and thinner bill. Cape York.” 
Cape York, North Queensland. 
In my 1913 “ List ” I still accepted the above arrangement, but synonymised 
the last named with E. c. harterti. I would now recognise the seven subspecies 
* 
and maybe some others should be added. 
The only recent criticism is a report upon birds from the King River: 
“ Entomyza albipennis Gould. One d, wing 150 mm.; 2 $ $. The white¬ 
winged Entomyza appears to be confined to the northern centre and North¬ 
west Australia with no discernible subspecific difference, while the bigger 
brown-winged birds range Eastern Australia from north to south.” 
The brown-winged birds from Cooktown do not measure as much as 
150 mm. in the wing, so cannot possibly be called “ bigger.”
