Pardalotus pallidus, a species said to be closely allied to 
P. rubricatus , has been described by Mr. A. J. Campbell 
[cf. ‘ Emu/ viii. p. 142 (1909)]. I have examined a male 
procured at North-west Cape (which lies about three hundred 
and fifty miles to the south of the De Grey River, where 
the type of P. pallidus was obtained), and find that it agrees 
in every respect with typical examples of P. rubricatus. 
P. pallidus is said to be “much lighter-coloured than any 
known species of the genus.”
