ResumoSUMMARYFord. J. 1971. Distribution and taxonomy of southern birds in the Great Victoria Desert. Emu 71: 27–36. Certain birds, usually associated with the malice and sclerophyllous woodlands of south-western Australia, south eastern Australia and Eyre Peninsula, also occur in the Great Victoria Desert, viz Glossopsitta porphyrocephala, Neophema splendida, Cinclosoma castonotum, Myiagra inquieta, Microeca leucophaea, Pachycrphala inornata, Climacteris rufa, Pardalotus xanthopygus, Strepera versicolor and Gymnorhina tibicen. The distribution, habitats and subspecific status of these species are discussed. The Great Victoria Desert is an avenue for the continuous distribution of these birds between Fyre Peninsula and the Southwest. Populations of most of these species on the eastern and western sides of the Nullarbor Plain have not diverged subspecifically from one another.
