ngly wary.

51. CINCLOSOMA CINNAMONEUS, GOULD.--Cinnamon-coloured Ground Thrush.

This third species of Cinclosoma appeared at the Depot in latitude 29 1/2
degrees, longitude 142 degrees, during the winter months in considerable
numbers, and a good many specimens were procured. Mr. Gould tells me this
is the only new species procured during my recent Expedition, a proof, I
think, of his indefatigable exertions in the prosecution of his
researches. Indeed I can bear abundant testimony as to the perseverance
and ability he displayed whilst with me, and the little regard he had to
personal comfort, in his ardent pursuit of information as to the habits
of the feathered tribes in the singular region where he was sojourning.

52. ZANTHOMYZA PHRYGIA.--Warty-faced Honey-eater.

This Honey-eater, with alternate black and yellow plumage, frequented all
the sand hills where Banksias grew, but as none of those trees are to be
found to the westward of Stanley's Barrier Range, so these birds were
confined to the country eastward of it.

They are found both in New South Wales and in South Australia; and most
probably came to the latter place from the eastward.

52a. ACANTHORHYNCHUS-RUFO-GULARIS, GOULD.--Shiny Honey-eater.

A larger Honey-eater, with grey mottled plumage, generally found on the
Banksia, and not very common.

53. ZOSTEROPS DORSALIS.--Grey-backed white-eye.

Seen in many parts of the country through which the Expedition passed,
but more common in the settled districts of the colony. It is exceedingly
mischievous amongst the grapes, and frequents the gardens in such numbers
as to be formidable.

54. CRYSOCOCCYX LUCIDUS.--The shining Cuckoo.

This is the smallest of the Cuckoo tribe, and is known by the metallic
lustre of its wings. It is beautifully figured in Mr. Gould's work. It
was frequently seen in the interior.

55. CLIMACTERIS SCANDENS, TEMM.--Brown Tree-Creeper.

This creeper was, with another Climacteris Picumnus, common in the pine
forests and on the open box-tree flats all over the interior. It is not a
showy bird in any way, but is very active and indefatigable in its search
for insects. It is remarkable that no Picus has been found in Australia.

56. ACROCEPHALUS AUSTRALIS.--The reed singing Bird.

This beautiful warbler is common in south-eastern Australia, wherever
there are reeds by the banks of the rivers or creeks, but where they were
wanting its voice was silent. On the banks of the Murr
