Mr. T. Carter on some 
[Ibis, 
Pardalotus punctatus whitlocki. 
Western Red-rumped Pardalotes were common in the 
Karri forests of the south-west, but not always easy to see, 
and still less to shoot, when they are high up in the giant 
trees that average two hundred feet in height, and in the 
Warren River district often reach three hundred feet. 
Pardalotus rubricatus pallidus. 
Pale Red-browed Pardalotes were, as usual, fairly plentiful 
about the beds of the Gascoyne and Minilya rivers, and 
occasionally seen far out from water-courses. On 10 Sept¬ 
ember, 1916, I shot a female at the Minilya River that 
contained* a fully-formed white egg. On 18 September 
I noted that a pair of these birds were feeding their young, 
which were being reared inside a perpendicular iron pipe 
about two inches in diameter and seven feet in height; 
this was set upright in the ground just outside a largo 
shearing shed, where shearing was in full progress. The 
nest was apparently some distance down the pipe. 
Pardalotus striatus westraliensis. 
Western Pardalotes were common about Broome Hill and 
all south-western districts. On 1 September, 1916, I shot a 
pair at the Minilya River, where I had never previously seen 
any of these birds, nor were they met with at the Gascoyne. 
Melithreptus lunatus chloropsis. 
Western White-naped Honeyeaters were observed all 
through the south-west area, where they are one of the 
commonest birds. 
Melithreptus atricapillus leucogenys. 
A few Western Brown-headed Honeyeaters were seen 
about Broome Hill and Gnowangerup in February 1916, 
and specimens obtained. 
Cissomela nigra westralensis. 
Western Black Honeyeaters were only seen on one 
occasion, viz. on 21 June, 1916, when I shot one out of 
a pair at Maud’s Landing. They were very wild and 
restless.
