They were also common on the Minilya River and the 
Yardie Creek pools, but excepting near these pools in 
the North West Cape ranges, their place is taken by 
Liehenostomus keartlandi. Most of the young birds are 
fledged in August or early September. The notes of the 
birds from the Minilya northwards are different from those 
on the Gascoyne. 
Meliornis novsehollandiae longirostris. 
Long-billed Honeyeaters were common in all south¬ 
western districts. 
Meliornis niger gouldi. 
Moustached Honeyeaters were only seen at Augusta, 
when several were feeding on the honey in Banksia 
blossoms, in company with many M. longirostris , and 
specimens were obtained on 8 April, 1919. These birds 
seem to be very local, and are always very restless and shy. 
Myzantha flavigula lutea. 
Yellow Minahs were common on the Lower Gascoyne 
River, and a few were seen on the Minilya and Lyndon 
rivers. Fledged young were noted on 9 September, 1911. 
Coleia carunculata woodwardi. 
Western Red Wattle-birds were common about Broome 
Hill and all south-western districts. In early April, 1919, 
thousands of them were feeding in the coastal scrub and 
timber near the Yasse River. 
Antkochsera chrysoptera lunulata. 
Little Wattle-birds were not commonly seen, except at 
the Yasse River, in April 1919, when many were feeding 
in company with Coleia carunculata. 
Acanthogenys rufogularis flavacanthus. 
Western Spiny-cheeked Honeyeaters were fairly common 
in the scrubs about Carnarvon, the Minilya district, and 
North-West Cape ranges, and a good many were seen at 
WYolundra in May 1919, eating the last of the grape-crop.
