I saw one of tliese birds at the eiitrauce of Lavender Bay, on 

 tlie 22nd September, 1905. It was resting on the water, but on 

 the approacli of a Milson's Point Ferry Steamer flew away, 

 finally settling down again in Farm Cove. 



Mr. R. S. Thomas, of South Clifton, captured one alive on the 

 beach during the previous month, and presented it to the Trustees 

 of the Austialian Museum.
