35 OREOICA GUTTURALIS--Crested piping Thrush

I found this bird co, and also in the western interior It visits the south-eastern parts of the continent, and is co open forests, and betraying its presence by itsbuilt bird, with a dull plue, but its crest adds much to its beauty, and it has a deep yellow iris

36 ERYTHRODRYAS RHODINOGASTER--Pink-breasted wood Robin

37 PETROICA GOODENOVII--Red-capped Robin

Similar in shape to the last, and essentially with the sae, with this exception, that the feathers over the nostril in this bird are a fine deep red, as well as its breast It is found in South Australia, and was not uncommon in the interior

38 PETROICA PHOENICEA, GOULD--Flaeneral appearance, but larger than either of the last; it is grey where it is black in the others, and is without any frontalto a flame colour

This species is not costers, and cannot therefore rival our oeet bird in that respect

41 EPTHIANURA AURIFRONS, GOULD--Orange-fronted Epthianura

The general appearance of this beautiful little bird is very different froo a specimen came accidentally into my hands, and it was so unlike any bird I had seen that I doubted its having been shot in Australia, but concluded that it was a South American specimen Two or three however were procured by the Expedition, in latitude 29 degrees, longitude 141 1/2 degrees
