Pomatostoinus innominatus new name for the bird figured in my Birds of Australia, \ol. IX., 
pi. 432 (top figure), and described on p. 255 (pt. VI., Feb. 15th, 1922). Type locality : Point 
Torment, North-west Australia. 
If those interested in Gould’s P. rubeculus will read his description they will find that it 
agrees with birds from Port Essington and disagrees with North-western birds. Gould says 
that it came from u North-west Coast,” but when figuring it and also in his Hand Book he only 
mentions Port Essington ; this, of course, is equivalent to designating the type locality and must 
be accepted. If we look at his plate in part xvi. we will see that the bird figured is very similar 
to birds from New South Wales and agrees with the description of rubeculus , and that it is a sub¬ 
species only. 
The bird from the North-west Coast may be a distinct species and, if so, will bear the above 
name, unless considered identical with birds from the Strelly River, Mid-xvest Australia, in which 
case it will he called Pomatostomus nigrescens. 
As in all my works, the designation of type of genera and the type localities of species and 
subspecies can be accepted when correct.
