There appears to have been a difficulty in ascertaining 
the sex of some of these birds, two of the females having 
been marked as males and several males as females. 
Iris dark brown or hazel ; bill dark brown in the adult, 
of a slate-colour above, with the sides and base of a flesh- 
colour, in the immature ; legs dark brown in the adult, of a 
slate-colour in the immature. 
Total length, measured in the flesh, 7-8 inches. 
[The Rufous Tree-Creeper was plentiful throughout the 
south-west and central divisions, extending inland as far as 
Laverton—where, however, it was rare and confined to the 
isolated strips of Eucalyptus along the water-courses. It is 
represented by C. superciliosa in the Mulga country.—

Two pairs of this rare Creeper were procured and are new 
to the British Museum. It was originally described by 
Mr. North ( c Ibis/ 1895, p. 341) from specimens obtained by 
the Horn Expedition at Jllara Creek, Central Australia, but 
appears to range over the greater part of Australia. The
