These birds were noticed breeding on the Lyndon River on 
5 September, 1911, and at Carnarvon on 23 September, 
1913. Both sexes utter the peculiar gurgling notes, and I 
observed that these birds north o£ Point Cloates have quite 
a different note and whistle from those of the Carnarvon 
district. Mr. G. M. Mathews described the Woolundra 
bird as A. r. woolundra (Bulletin B. 0. C. xl. 1920, p. 76). 
Anthus australis bilbali. 
Western Pipits were common about Broome Hill, and in 
open or cleared localities through the south- and mid-west 
areas. They are not seen in heavy timber in its natural 
state, but extend their range as the country is cleared. 
Two small young were seen in a nest at Carnarvon on 
13 August, 1911, and three fresh eggs in a nest there 
on 22 September, 1913. Specimens of Anthus obtained 
at Peron Peninsula and Dirk Hartog Island (both in Shark 
Bay) and at Carnarvon are slightly more rufous in general 
colouring than birds from Broome Hill. Point Cloates birds 
are distinctly more rufous than those at Carnarvon, and near 
the North-West Cape I obtained specimens that agree with 
Mathews’ Rufous Pipit (Anthus australis subrufus ), of which 
I found a nest containing three eggs, about twenty miles 
south of North-West Cape, on 29 July, 1916. They were 
very similar to those of more southern Pipits. 
Mirafra liorsfieldi woodwardi. 
Specimens of the Onslow Bush-Lark were obtained by 
me at the Minilya River on 20 August, 1911. It was 
the first time I had seen these birds so far south. 
Fledged young were seen at the same place on 20 Sept¬ 
ember, 1911. Several were seen at Maud’s Landing, Point 
Cloates, and near the North-West Cape. 
Zonseginthus oculatus. 
Red-eared Finches were common in the Paper-Bark tree 
(Melaleuca) swamps about Albany in 1913, and I saw some 
at Lake Muir (which is thirty-five miles from the sea) on 
1 January, 1916, and a good many at a large swamp close
