Distribution and taxonomy of some birds from south-western Queensland

Abstract

In December 1971 and January 1972 an expedition was made to south-western Queensland. From observations made and specimens collected the distribution of some species can now be better defined. The taxo­nomy of Barnardius zonarius, Pomatostomus superciliosus, Pomatostomus halli, Eremiornis carteri, Amytornis striatus, Stipiturus ruficeps and Colluricincla harmonica is discussed.
