One adult male, Heavitree Gap. 
[This bird was frequently found along the course of the Finke River and at 
other places, where its merry and loud song was lieard as it flew from tree to tree, 
or perched on the dead branch of a tall eucalypt. The specimen secured 
was shot at Heavitree Gap, in a mulga scrub, amongst which it I’an like a Ground 
Thrush, for which it was at first mistaken from a distance.]

Two adult males, Bagot’s Creek ; two adult males, Levi Range. 
[At Petermann Creek these birds were found in companies of tiiree or four, 
and, to my surprise, kept flying from bush to bush, and worked amongst the 
blossom in a manner that at first led me to think they were Hoiieyeaters. By a 
little care several specimens were secured and their identity was e.st.iblished. 
Although frequently afterwards met with, it was some time before I heard their 
well-known note.]
