Noted only at " The Fisheries " in the Darling River at 

 Brewarrina. Occasionally seen perched on a low rock near 

 the water, or on one of the stones forming the fish-traps or 

 " yards," at intervals dropping ol¥ noiselessly into the water, 

 and re-appearing again some distance away ; perching again 

 afterwards, and repeating the operation. One or two were 

 generally to be seen at this part of the river, but I never ob- 

 served them catch any fair-sized fish.

Observed also only at " The Fisheries," in the Darling River, 

 at Brewarrina, usually alone, never more than a pair, and sim- 

 ilarly engaged in " fishing." When perched on a low rock 

 near the water, the glistening white under surface shone like 

 silver in the morning sun, as 1 usually visited this portion of 

 the river shortly after day-break. At Chatswood, near Sydney, 

 this species used to regularly visit a brick hole, in one of the 

 busiest parts of the suburb, shortly after the introduction of 

 a number of carp into the water.
