60 Mr. T. Carter on some [Ibis, 
1913, in low Melaleuca scrub near Carnarvon, and is, 
I believe, the only specimen to date. It was one of a 
small party of these birds, and when shot, it fluttered out 
of sight, and while finding it, the rest of the birds vanished 
in the bushes, and I could not see them again. Although on 
'many occasions on that trip, and subsequent ones, I often 
traversed the same ground, not a single Aeanthiza of any 
sort was seen between Shark Bay and the North-West Cape 
during my trip in 1916.

Pyrrholaemus brunneus pallescens. 
Pallid Redthroats were common in the scrub around 
Carnarvon, and north of there. Recently fledged young 
were noted on 26 August, 1911. These birds make a 
peculiar fluttering noise with their wings when flying. 
Sericornis maculatus warreni. 
Scrub-Wrens were common in the coastal scrubs at the 
mouths of the Warren and Blackwood rivers, also at Collie 
and Cape Naturaliste, in March and April, 1919. Only one 
of these birds was seen by me at the Vasse River ; this 
was on 21 March, 1916. 
Malurus splendens splendens. 
Banded Wrens were very scarce about Lake Muir in 
January 1916, only one being seen there, but they were 
plentiful at the Vasse River in February that year, many 
being seen in full plumage. Very few were seen anywhere 
in March and April, 1919, excepting about Augusta. No full- 
plumaged males were observed in 1919. 
Hallornis leuconotus exsul. 
Recently fledged young of the Western White-winged 
Wren were seen at Carnarvon on 28 August, 1911. These 
birds were scarce in the mid-west in 1911 and 1913, but 
very common in 1916, when good rains fell from Carnarvon 
northwards. They were breeding at Maud’s Landing on 
23 June, and at Point Cloates and farther north in July. 
On 27 August, 1916, I found a nest with one addled egg
