(continued) In Family 135--Titmice or Tits--Australia has but five representatives--the peculiar Wedgebill, "Kitty-lin-tof," and the four Australian "Whitefaces." The Whiteface is "lively, with sweet chirping notes." Its former scientific name (_Xerophila_) means "dry lover," for it is found mainly in the drier parts. The European Tits belong to this family, so it is not desirable to use the name "Tit" for the Australian birds of the genus _Acanthiza_, for they belong to the Warbler family (_Sylviidae_), and not to the Tit family (_Paridae_). The Nuthatches of the Old World and America are represented by closely-related birds, with somewhat similar habits, in Australia. These run spirally down a tree-trunk, searching every crack or piece of bark. Eight of these birds occur in Australia. Latham called them Nuthatches. It is now proposed to return to this name, as it is used for the British, Indian, and North American birds of this family (_Sittidae_).
