Whitlocka rufa rufa. 
Rufous Tree-Creepers were common about Broome Hill, 
and also seen at Woolundra. 
Whitlocka rufa ohscura. 
Allied Rufous Tree-Creepers were observed, and specimens 
obtained, at Lake Muir, the Warren, Blackwood, Margaret, 
and Collie rivers. They were all of this darker subspecies, 
and confirm its validity. The darkest coloured birds were 
obtained on Big Brook, a tributary of the Warren River 
from the east. 
Zoster ops gouldi. 
Green-backed White-eyes were common through all the 
districts visited. Small young were seen in a nest at 
Carnarvon on 4 August, 1911. These birds were feeding 
freely on small orange-coloured berries from bushes near 
the beach at Vasse in February 1916. 
Zosterops lutea balstoni. 
Carnarvon White-eyes were common in the mangroves 
near Carnarvon in all my trips, and some specimens shot 
there on 17 September, 1911, were evidently breeding, but 
I failed to find any nests. A few of these birds were seen 
in mangroves near the North-West Cape on 2 August, 1916. 
None were seen in the mangroves of the Peron Peninsula, 
in Shark Bay, that year. 
Austrodicseum hirundinaceum tor men ti. 
Western Mistletoe-birds were only seen on two occasions, 
viz., a pair on the ranges near Point Cloates on 14 July, 
1916, and those already recorded (Ibis, 1917, p. 608) on 
Dirk Hartog Island. Mathews (Ref. List, 1913) only gives 
North-west Australia and Northern Territory as the range 
of this bird. Milligan recorded it from the Wongan Hills 
(100 miles north-east from Perth), and Shortridge from 
near Kalgoorlie, and I have seen them at several places 
along the Midland Railway route.
