(Monarcha albiventris, Gould.) 
White-bellied Flycatcher. 
Gould, Suppl. Bds. Aust., pi. 13. 
“ The nest of P. albiventris is similar in every respect to that of 
Monarcha melanopsis, Vioillot, but slightly smaller, and the eggs 
of the several species are scarcely to be distinguished from one 
another excepting by their size. Those of P. albiventris, Gould, 
measure 0'S inch in length x 0 - 56 inch in breadth. The ground 
colour is white, the whole surface being sprinkled with freckles 
and dots of bright red, which becoming confluent near the thicker 
end, there form a zone.” ( Ramsay, P.L.S., JF.S. IF., Vol. i., 2nd 
Series, p. 1144.)

Lead-coloured Flycatcher. 
Gould, Handbk. Bds. Aust., Yol. i., sp. 144, p. 252. 
“ This pretty Flycatcher arrives in the vicinity of Sydney about 
the same time as Monarcha carinala,* or perhaps a little earlier. 
It is however, much more regular in its visits than that bird, 
coming every year, whereas the other is not so regular, nor in 
such constant numbers. Myiagra plumbea f is a pleasing, active 
little bird, ever on the move, and even when perched continues 
* = Monarcha melanopsis. 
f = Myiagra rubecula.
