36. Ptilotis lewini Swaius. (op. cit. p. 386). 

 Common all through the mountains up to 4000 feet; also 



at Cardwell and Cape York. One of the most abundant 

 birds of Queensland, especially in the Brisbane scrubs.

This is another of my discoA'cries. It was first shot at 

 Cardwell in 1882. It feeds on mistletoe, and comes to the 

 lowlands in January, February, and March (the rainy season) . 

 In June (winter) it goes to the mountains, and sometimes 

 reaches an altitude of 5200 feet.

 the Cardwell district, but not at Cape York or south of the 

 Herbert River.
