Now Artamus cinereus normani ( Mathews, 1923 ) . See Mathews, 1930: 637 ; Mayr, 1962b: 164–165 ; Mees, 1982: 160–165 ; Storr, 1984: 170 ; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 565–567 ; Dickinson, 2003: 464 ; and Rowley and Russell, 2009b: 307 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 665020 , adult male, collected at Normanton , 17.40S , 141.05E (Times Atlas ), Queensland , Australia , on 29 November 1913 , by Robin Kemp (no. 3542). From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: The original description reads: ‘‘The bird figured and described on p. 246, from Normanton, Gulf of Carpentaria, can be called Austrartamus melanops Normani , subsp. n. ’’ AMNH 665020, in addition to Kemp’s label, a Rothschild Museum label printed ‘‘Ex. Coll. G.M. Mathews,’’ and a Rothschild type label, also bears a Mathews’ ‘‘Figured’’ label. The specimen appears as the middle figure in Mathews (1923b : pl. 477, opp. p. 244), labeled Austrartamus cinereus . Kemp’s label data and the measurements written by Mathews on the reverse of Kemp’s label agree with those published for the type by Mathews (1923b: 246) . Specimens collected in 1913 and 1914 by Kemp were only partly cataloged by Mathews; this specimen was not. See Mees (1982: 160–165) and Schodde and Mason (1999: 565–567) for a review of the complicated history of the nomenclature of A. cinereus and the latter for use of normani as the valid name for the northeast Queensland population.
