N.S.W. x. p. 244. 
One specimen, confounded with the two succeeding species 
by Mr. Olive, agrees well with two specimens in the British 
Museum collected by Cairns and Grant. 
It is undoubtedly very distinct, and might be described as 
a diminutive richly-coloured race of C. harmonica . Whole 
upper surface dull lead-grey ; the primaries dull brown edged 
with pale brown exteriorly; lores whitish, an ill-defined 
stripe from the lores to the eye rufous. Under surface pale 
rufous, the feathers of the throat and upper breast with 
strongly marked grey shaft-stripes. “Bill black ; feet 
reddish brown; iris brown ” {Olive). 
Measurements: total length 200, wing 104, tail 85, 
tars. 27, culm. 23 mm. 
29. *Colly riocincla cervineiventris North, Rec. Austr. 
Mus. iii. p. 49 (1897). 
A single male from Cooktown agrees fairly well with the 
diagnosis of the above species, which is described as coming 
from the Dawson River, Central Queensland. Iris, bill, and 
feet brown. 
The measurements of the specimen before us are : wing 96, 
tail 81, tars. 26, culm. 21 mm. 
We are by no means sure that this species will not 
ultimately prove to be founded on specimens of the true 
C. rufigaster Gould, in somewhat bleached plumage— i. e., 
specimens from districts of low rainfall.
