Brookton.” The township of Brookton is about twenty 
miles south of Beverley, and is about seventy-five miles 
from the coast, Beverley being about seventy. Yet when 
speaking of Meliornis longirostris he writes : “ It occurs as 
far inland as Beverley.” 
The Graceful Honey-eater is one of the commonest species 
round Broome Hill (which is about a hundred and twenty 
miles south of Brookton), certainly by far the commonest 
of the Honey-eaters. It also occurs plentifully forty miles 
south of Broome Hill, and is to be found wherever the White 
Gum (. Eucalyptus redunca ) grows. 
7. Ptilotis sonora Gould. 
This Honey-eater occurs plentifully, as far, at least, as 
the North-West Cape, which is nearly three hundred miles 
further north than the Gascoyne River (see f Emu/ vol. iii. 
p. 93). 
8 . Certhionyx occtdentalis Grant. 
Certhionyx occidentalis Grant, Ibis, 1909, p. 658. 
Without having seen the single skin upon which Mr. 
Ogilvic-Grant has founded this new species, it appears to 
me that he has separated it from C. variegatus on very slight 
grounds. The skin from the North-West Cape referred to by 
Mr. Ogilvie-Grant as that of “ A. G. Campbell ” was collected 
by me. Mr. Shortridge found the last-named species to be 
rare round Carnarvon. In my notes on Birds occurring 
in the Region of the North-West Cape ” (‘ Emu/ vol. iii. 
p. 92) it is mentioned by me (under the name of Entomo- 
phila leucomela ) as being one of the commonest winter 
visitors on the coast and inland, appearing as soon as the 
winter rains commence. Perhaps it was a dry season when 
Mr. Shortridge was on the Gascoyne River (for which 
Carnarvon is the post-town). 
9. Glycyphila subocularis Gould. 
Neither Dr. Hartert nor Mr. A. J. North recognise this 
as a good species. The Brown Honey-eater ( Glycyphila 
ocularis) occurs regularly at Broome Hill (eighty-five miles
