1921 .] Western Australian Birds. 51 
the winter months, when they are usually fairly common 
there. 
Melanodryas cucullata westralensis. 
Western Hooded Robins were seen in the Broome Hill 
district, where they are fairly common, but do not seem to 
occur in the heavily timbered areas to the south-west. 
They were also noticed all along the North-West Cape 
ranges. 
Smicrornis brevirostris occidentalis. 
Westralian Tree-Tits were abundant about Broome Hill 
and Gnowangerup in February and March 1919, especially 
in the thickets of dwarf eucalyptus (Maalock, Mallet, etc.). 
Ethelornis tenebrosa Christopher! 
Allied Dusky Fly-eaters, first obtained by me in the 
mangroves at Carnarvon in September 1911 (cf. Mathews, 
Nov. Zool. xviii. 1912, p. 311), were numerous then, and 
also in September 1913 and June 1916 ; but between 
the 18th and 27th of September in the latter year I only 
saw one bird, which was a breeding male, and failed to 
discover any nests. This is a very unobtrusive little bird, 
and tame in disposition, going about in small parties, and 
often in company with Zosterops lutea balstoni. Only one 
was noticed in the large patch of mangroves near the 
North-West Cape, where I spent four days early in August 
1916. None were seen in the mangroves of Peron peninsula, 
Shark Bay. 
Ethelornis fusca fusca. 
Western Fly-eaters were very plentiful in young eucalyptus 
trees at Lake Muir in March 1919, and were seen in lesser 
numbers in other south-west districts. 
Ctuoyornis georgianus. 
Only two White-breasted Shrike-Robins were seen in the 
course of the four visits to the south-west, viz., one near 
Cape Leeuwin in March 1916, and one at the Warren River
