THE BIRDS OF AUSTRALIA. 
Meliornis j[>yrrhoptera halmaturina A. G. Campbell. 
Kangaroo Island. 
Differs as above pointed out by Campbell. 
Meliornis pyrrhoptera inornata (Gould). 
Tasmania. 
Darker, with a longer biU, shorter wing and longer tarsus. 
These were admitted in my 1913 “ List,” but were transferred to the 
genus Phylidonyris of Lesson which was proposed twenty odd years earlier 
than Lichmera, which was used by Gould for this genus in a sense different 
from the earhest t 3 rpification of that name. 
I have added 
Phylidonyris pyrrhoptera mixta. 
“ Brighter generally than Meliornis pyrrhoptera indistincta Mathews, but not 
so bright as typical P. p. pyrrhoptera Latham.” 
Victoria. 
And the King Island bird I have named above.
