556 Recently published Ornithological Works. [Ibis, 
name rubecula has priority, and is identical with plumhea 
and ruhiculoides of Vigors and Horsfield, while Gould’s 
concinna is only one of seven subspecies recognized by 
Mr. Mathews, as opposed to five by Rothschild and 
Hartert—including extraiimital forms. Similarly, M. cyano- 
leucus has priority over nitida of Gould, and includes as 
subspecies robinsoni and nuptus, the latter of which was 
considered a full species from the Louisiade Group by 
Hartert. M. ruficollis , which is identical with latirostris 
of Gould, has five subspecies, three being Australian. 
The very broad-billed Machcerirhynchus has one species 
(fiaviventer) from Cape York and a large subspecies 
[secundus) from Cairns district, apart from others, outside 
the Continent. That familiar bird the Restless Flycatcher, 
or scissors-grinder ( Seisura ), was depicted no less than 
four times by Watling, and subsequently named four times 
by Latham. His first name ( inquieta ) holds, and five sub¬ 
species are here recognized. Of these, nana was considered 
a full species by Gould, while rogersi is now given as a new 
form from north-w r est Australia. 
Ophryzone is a genus of one species confined to the 
Cairns district, for Mr. Mathews has separated lorealis 
from kaupi under a genus, Proseisura. Piezorhynchus has 
one Australian species, originally discovered by Gilbert, 
which is divided into four subspecies under the head of 
the extraiimital alecto . We next come to a group of birds 
differentiated by Bonaparte as Symposiachrus , and allied 
to Monarcha. There is one Australian species (trivirgatus) 
with two subspecies (albiventris and gouldii), for Sharpe’s 
medius is the same as the former, and staikeri is now 
dropped. Carterornis leucotis has had a luckier fate, for it 
has been named but once, though two subspecies are 
admitted. Monarcha proves to be a composite group, the 
consideration of which begins in this part. A new 
genus ( Penemonarcha ) is proposed for Salvadori’s species 
axillaris , while Monarchana is to be used for Chrysomela 
of Garnot.
