Dendrolagus is said by the natives to be on the ranges, and no 

 doubt occurs there, but none were obtained by us. 



The ground birds started nesting in August, and we obtained 

 nests and eggs of lleteromyias cinereifrons and Ortlionyx i^paldingi. 

 The former hiys two eggs and builds a nest on the " lawyer " 

 vines about four ffjet from the ground. Ortlioiiyx spaldin(/i lays 

 but one egg for a sitting, and usually builds at the root of a tree 

 or vine, but we found some nests as high from the ground as 

 twelve feet on staghorn ferns. 



The majority of birds on the tableland and ranges do not nest 

 until towards the end of the year. 



We obtained a mummy and some native implements, &c., from 

 camps at the heads of the Johnson and Mulgr-ave Rivers. The 

 dilly bags and water buckets are made by the old men.
