Struthidea cinerea dalyi
Mathews
]
In the original description of this form,
Mathews (1923a: 42)
listed the
type
as from Daly Waters,
Northern Territory
(ex Capt. S.A. White) and said that the form differed from
S.c.
cinerea
in being larger and of a more bluish tinge. No specimen of
Struthidea
collected by S.A. White, at Daly Waters or elsewhere, came to AMNH with the Roth schild Collection. There are also no specimens of this species taken by White in
1922 in
SAMA (P. Horton, personal commun.)
White (1923)
was part of a group that made an extensive automobile trip across
Australia
in 1922. He noted (
White, 1923: 228
) that on the day before they reached Daly Waters on 4 June they saw large parties of
Struthidea cinerea
.
Mathews (1927: 425)
cited additional information from White confirming that he had collected specimens.
