Mr. T. Carter on some 
[Ibis, 
Meliphaga virescens virescens. 
Singing Honeyeaters were commonly observed in all the 
districts visited. Fledged young were seen at Carnarvon 
on 11 August, 1913, and Point Cloates on 14 July, 
1916. Mr. G. M. Mathews appears to have inadvertently 
described Meliphaga virescens hartogi as a new subspecies 
(vide Bulletin B. 0. C. vol. xl. 1920, p. 76). The type of 
the species itself was obtained on Dirk Hartog Island by 
the French expedition of 1818, as mentioned in ‘The Ibis 5 
(1917, p. 609), and was described by Vieillot (N. Diet. 
d’Hist. Nat. xiv. p. 329). 
Lichenostomus cratitia occidentalis. 
Wattle-cheeked Honeyeaters were very plentiful in the 
sand-plain scrubs east of Gnowangerup in February 1919, 
the only locality where any were observed. 
Lichenostomus keartlandi mungi. 
Western Grey-headed Honeyeaters were plentiful all 
along the ranges of the North-West Cape peninsula, but 
were not seen elsewhere. They were breeding from July 
to August, 1916. The song of this bird is a very sweet 
trilling warble, and other shorter notes are uttered. 
Lichenostomus ornatus ornatus. 
Western Yellow-plumed Honeyeaters were common at 
Lake Craigie (fifteen miles north of Perth), where specimens 
were obtained on 8 April, 1916. 
Lichenostomus ornatus wensleydalei. 
Inland Yellow-plumed Honeyeaters were very plentiful 
about Broome Hill, where they mostly fed in the wliite- 
gum timber. Many recently fledged young birds were seen 
in early February, 1916. 
Ptilotula penicillata carteri. 
North western White-plumed Honeyeaters were, as usual, 
abundant on the scrubby banks and islands of the Gascoyne 
River, the bushes and white-gum trees being full of the 
birds, with their cheerful notes and lively movements.
