80 On some JVrstern Avstralhin Birds. [Ibis, 



Cloates, apparently not breeding. IG September, 191(). Shot 

 a fledgling that had just left the nest, and could not fly 

 much : the irides were bright pale blue. 



A bird, shot at the Yardie Creek on 4 August, 191(J, had 

 been feeding largely on caterpillars and salt-bush berries. 

 Crows were a nuisance at my lonely camp at the Yardie 

 that year, turning all sorts of things over when I was away 

 from it. I had shot two specimens of Rock Wallaby 

 (Pefrof/ale lateralis) lor food, and pegged out the skins on 

 the ground, but the (h'ows damaged them; so next time 

 I left the camp I buried the skins, laid flat, some inches 

 deep in the sand, but on my return found that the (-rows 

 had pulled them up. On 9 September, 1913, I shot one 

 of a pair of Crows, for identification, at Carnarvon, and was 

 carrying it by its feet, when the other bird followed me for 

 about a mile, cawing and flying close round me. It was 

 presumably a female, as the one shot was a male. 



Corvus cecilse hartogi. 



My notes on the Dirk Hartog Crow were published in 

 ' The Ibis,' October 1917, p. 610. It has since been described 

 as Corvus hartogi in the lUilletin B. 0. C. vol. xl. p. 76, 

 30 January, 1920. 



Neostrepera versicolor plumbea. 



Leaden (^row-Shrikes were common all through the south- 

 western area. Their northern limit seems to be about the 

 Murchison River. 



Corrections. 

 Referring to ray paragraph in ' The Ibis,' July 1920, 

 bottom of page 693, re CJdiclonias leucoptera : as no speci- 

 mens were obtained of this "' White-winged Tern " I deleted 

 it from the proof-sheets, which were received by me at a 

 very late date, and apparently too late to make the required 

 omission, which I regret.
