G'day Tony *et al.*

The latest IOC (ver 6.2) has the following *3* Catbirds for Australia:

*Green Catbird* (*A. crassirostris*).  e Australia (e Queensland, e New
South Wales)
*Spotted Catbird* (*A. maculosus*).  ne Queensland
*Black-eared Catbird* (*A. melanotis*).  This includes *A.m. facialis* from
montane n, wc New Guinea, *A.m. melanotis* from lowland sc New Guinea and
Aru Islands and *A.m. joanae* from e Cape York Pen (ne Australia).

My institution doesn't have a subscription to the journal which published
the relevant paper.

Cheers
Steve Clark
Hamilton, Vic
