Collection of Birds from Western Australia. 
[The Crested Wedge-bill was plentiful on the Gascoyne 
River. It closely resembles the Crested Bell-bird ( Oreoica 
cristata) in its movements, habits, and general appearance. 
It is rather a shy bird and generally frequents scrubby 
thickets. Its notes are very striking and have a peculiarly 
metallic sound.— G. C. S.~\

[The Chestnut-bellied Whiteface was plentiful in the 
central divisions, where it might often be seen going about in 
small flocks in company with the Chestnut-rumped Thorn- 
bill ( Acanthiza uropygialis) and the Redthroat ( Sericornis 
hrunnea). It was fairly numerous as far north as the 
Gascoyne River.— G. C. £.]

As Mr. A. J. North has already pointed out [Nests & 
Eggs of B. Austr. i. p. 187 (1903)], a serious error was made 
by Dr. Gadow in volume viii. of the ‘ Catalogue of the Birds 
in the British Museum.’ On page 178 Eopsaltria gularis is 
described under the heading E. georgiana , and on p. 181 a 
description of E. georgiana is given under the heading 
E. gularis.
