[The Ground Cuckoo-Shrike is a local and by no means 
plentiful species, being rare in the south-west. At times it 
is gregarious, breeding iii small colonies, generally in trees. 
It frequents well-timbered districts and feeds on the ground. 
In its flight it resembles the Black-faced Cuckoo-Shrike 
(Graucalus melanops ).— G. C. S.~\

[The Restless Flycatcher although so similar in general 
appearance to Rhipidura tricolor is very unlike that species in 
its habits. It is of a more retiring nature, and is generally 
to be found in thick forest-country. From the south-west it 
extends as far inland as Southern Cross.— G. C. $.]
