67. ACANTHIZA PUSILLA, Lath. 



We have seen this bird only at Cooyal. 



68. ACANTHIZA NANA, VlQ. (& Hovsf, 



Also shot only at Cooyal. 



69. ACANTHIZA LINEATA, Gld. 



Common in all parts of the district. The bronze cuckoos often 

 lay their eggs in this bird's nest. Eggs August 1st to October 6th. 

 Local name " Tomtit." 



70. Geobasileus reguloides, Yig. & Eorsf. 



Much rarer than its congener. Eggs September 14th. 



71. Geobasileus ohrysorrhoea, Q. et Gaim. 



Eggs in July, and on almost all through the year. Known 

 locally as "Tomtit." Frequently foster-parent of bronze cuckoo. 

 Wades into water for bath. 



72. Ephthianura albifrons, J. & S. 



Eggs September 4th to November 7th. Although Gould, quoting 

 E. P. Ramsay, says they arrive in New South Wales in September 

 and October, we have always observed a few all winter, and it 

 will be seen above that they breed early in September. 



73. Xerophila leucopsis, Gld. 



They pack in large flocks on the open uplands in autumn and 

 winter, sometimes mingled with Geobasileus chrysorrhcea. Eggs 

 July to November. Local name " Squeaker." 



74. Origma rubric ata, Lath. 



Only seen on the sandstone at Cooyal and Goodaman, and in 

 the brush at Mullamuddy. A deserted nest with one egg was 

 taken at Cooyal in July, probably the last season's nest. 



75. Chthonicola sagittata, Lath. 



Eggs in September and October. Locally known as " Tit- 

 lark."
