YELLOW-TUFTED HONEY-EATER. 
It will be at once noticed there is some confusion in connection with the 
names and notes by Latham. Thus, in connection with his Black-eyed 
Thrush, which comes first in his book, Latham gives no field-notes nor any 
indication of where he saw the bird or picture. Then he uses the name Yellow¬ 
eared Flycatcher for the bird figured in White’s Voyage, and introduces 
another species, the Yellow-tufted Flycatcher, and thereto adds and elaborates 
the long note quoted above by Sharpe ex Watling in connection with the 
Black-eyed Thrush. Latham also quoted, and added to, Watling’s note with 
regard to his Mustaclioe Flycatcher, which is the same bird. The restricted 
range of this species, ranging only from central New South Wales into 
Victoria, did not suggest much differentiation into subspecies, but I noted 
that the Victorian form differed from the typical one in its generally paler 
coloration and smaller size and named it P. melanops meltoni, and tins was 
upheld hi my 1913 “ List ” under the genus name Lophoptilotis.
