Mr. T. Carter on some 
[Ibis, 
Broome Hill, in May 1919, I saw and heard a Calamanthvs 
on sand-plain country, but failed to obtain a specimen, 
having no gun at the time. It would be interesting to 
identify the birds occurring there. 
Calamanthus campestris rubiginosus. 
Rusty-red Field-Wrens were seen at Maud’s Landing, 
and specimens obtained during the last week of August 
1911 ; also at Maud’s Landing and Point Cloates at the 
same time in 1913, and in early July in 1916, when a 
breeding male was obtained on 7 July at Point Cloates. 
These birds breed immediately after any heavy rainfall, 
irrespective of the season. 
Cincloramplms cruralis clelandi. 
Western Brown Song-Larks were common from Car¬ 
narvon northwards, on my visits in that district, from early 
June to October. 
Maclennania mathewsi mathewsi. 
The above note also applies to the Western Rufous Song- 
Lark, which species was particularly common about the 
sandy banks of the Gascoyne River. Recently fledged 
young were noted on 8 September, 1911. 
Ephthianura albifrons westralensis. 
Westralian White-fronted Chats were common in south¬ 
western localities, except in 1919, when very few were seen, 
the only instances being at Lake Muir, when a small party 
was seen on 21 March, and considerable numbers on a bare 
sand-drift at Cape Naturaiiste on 13 April, but they were 
unusually wild, and no specimens were obtained at either 
place. 
Parephthianura tricolor assimilis. 
Westralian Tricoloured Chats were common from Car¬ 
narvon to Point Cloates in 1913 and 1916. On 24 August, 
1913, a male bird was flushed from a nest containing two 
incubated eggs. Two nests, each containing four incubated 
eggs, were found on the lltli and 16th of September at
