Cracticus nigrogularis kalgoorli. 
Western Black-throated Butcher-birds were breeding on 
the Lyndon River on 5 September, 1911. They were rather 
common in May 1919 about Woolundra, which is probably 
near their southern limit of range. 
Bulestes torquatus leucopterus. 
White-winged Butcher-birds were common about Broome 
Hill and south-western localities, excepting Augusta and the 
Margaret River, where none were seen. Several of them 
were observed at Woolundra, where the Black-throated 
birds give them a bad time, by constantly attacking them. 
A specimen of the White-winged was obtained by me on 
13 September, 1916, about midway between the Gascoyne 
and Minilya rivers, the first time this bird was ever seen 
by me in that district. Shortridge does not mention having- 
seen this subspecies about the Gascoyne River in 1908 
(Ibis, 1909, p. 669). 
Falcunculus frontatus leucogaster. 
White-bellied Shrike-Tits were commonly seen about 
Broome Hill, especially early in 1919. Adult birds were 
seen feeding recently fledged young on 4 March, 1919. 
Oreoica gutturalis westralensis. 
Western Crested Bell-birds were exceedingly scarce about 
Broome Hill in early 1919, where they are usually plentiful 
at all seasons. They were, as usual, fairly common in the 
Gascoyne and Minilya districts in 1911, 1913, and 1916. 
Apheiocephala castaneiventris minilya. 
Several small parties of Murchison Whitefaces were seen 
in mid-September, 1916, in scrubby country midway between 
the Lower Gascoyne and Minilya rivers, where I had never 
previously seen anyof these birds; but I had obtained speci¬ 
mens in 1904 at Mullewa, three hundred miles to the south. 
Shortridge found them “ fairly numerous as far north as the 
Upper Gascoyne River (Clifton Downs Station) ” in 1908 
(Ibis, 1909, p. 667) ; so, at present, the locality where my
