承蒙外交部部长阿特利·亨特先生的好意，已将一小批鸟类皮供皇家澳大利亚鸟类学家联合会审查，并将·亨特先生的全部著作供出版。GF希尔的鸟类学野外记录，在巴克莱探险队穿越北领地期间获得。联盟的理事会委托我们检查鸟类，而希尔先生的田野笔记全文出现，从第238页开始。收集的皮肤（一些是在精神）是小，但有趣。有65个标本，代表约36种。Xerophila castaneiventris，Milligan（栗腹白面）是新的北领地，同样Malurus coronatus，古尔德（紫冠vVren）。只获得了后者的一只雌性，它的总体颜色比古尔德的图要深（“澳大利亚鸟类”增刊，图版zo）。最令人感兴趣的鸟是一种新的科学草鹪鹩，我们命名为Amytornis rufa。以下是它的描述：-成年男性。上表面丰富的红褐色，从头到外套膜的每根羽毛，包括上翅覆羽，有一条白色中央条纹;从张口处开始的黑色线，向后延伸约半英寸;耳覆羽黑色，有白色条纹;喉带白色;表面下的其余部分暗黄色，侧腹最深，
THROUGH the courtesy of Mr. Atlee Hunt, CMG, Secretary Department of External Affairs, there has been placed at the disposal of the Royal Australasian Ornithologists' Union a small collection of bird-skins for examination, and, for publication, the whole of Mr.· GF Hill's ornithological field notes obtained during the Barclay Exploring Expedition through the Northern Territory. The Council of the Union deputed us to examine the birds, while Mr. Hill's field notes appear in extenso, beginning at p. 238. The collection of skins (a few being in spirits) is small but interesting. There are 65 specimens, representing about 36 species. Xerophila castaneiventris, Milligan (Chestnut-bellied Whiteface) is new for the Northern Territory, likewise Malurus coronatus, Gould (Purple-crowned vVren). A female only of the latter was obtained, which appears darker in general colouration than Gould's figure (" Birds of Australia," Suppl., pl. zo). The bird of most interest is a Grass-Wren new to science, which we have named Amytornis rufa. The following is its description:-Adult Male.-Upper surface rich rufous, each feather from head to mantle, including upper wing coverts, having a white central stripe; line of black from gape, extending backward about half an inch; ear coverts dark, striped with white; throat whitish; rest of under surface buffy, darkest on flanks, which
