[The Short-billed Scrub-Tit was very plentiful in the 
central and south-western divisions and was observed as far 
south as Wagin. 
It chiefly frequents the high Eucalyptus-trees, among the 
leaves of which it may often be overlooked. It closely 
resembles the species of Pardalotus in its habits.— G. C. £.]
