mountain lakes. This season Tasmania has been in\a(k(l by 

 thousands of birds ot this species. 



Uroaetus audax ((/. a. atidax). Wedge-tailed Eagle.— A si)lendid 

 jiair ol tliese birds was seen near Mount Field West. 



Hieracidea berlgora {leracidea h. herigora). Brown Hawk. — Noted

 Heard calling in the evening. 



Calyptorhynchus xanthonotus (C. funereiis xanthonotus). Yellow- 

 eared Black Cockatoo.— Several flocks of these birds were seen, and 

 their harsh notes were continually echoing through the timber along 

 the pack track from the 2,000 to the 2,500-feet level. 



Platycercus flaviventris (P. caledonicus). Green Parrot. — This species 

 was very numerous in the timbered country near the pack track. 

 Had time permitted, I would have probably been able to identify 

 other members of the Psitiacidce. as there is every indication that 

 they are inhabitants of the Park. 



Cuculus pallidus (Heteroscenes p. pallidus). Pallid Cuckoo. — Heard 

 calling in the open timber country near the entrance. 



Petroica leggii (P. multicolor frontalis). Scarlet-breasted Robin. — 

 This species was often observed in the more open country of the 

 lowlands, although several were seen at high altitudes. 



Petroica phoenicea {Littler a c. chrysoptera). Flame-breasted Robin. 

 — This species appeared to be about as common as the preceding. 



Erythrodryas rhodinogaster {E. r. rhodinogaster). Pink-breasted 

 Robin. — This most beautiful species was occasionally seen among 

 the ferns and dense \cgctation of the gullies. 



Pachycephala glaucura (P. pectoralis glauciira). Grey-tailed 

 Whistler. — Noted on the lower slopes of Mount Field East, usually 

 on a hillside or at the head of a gully. 



Rhipidura diemenensis (i?. flahellifera alhiscapa). Dusky Fantail. — 

 Usually seen in the vicinity of creeks. This species appeared to be 

 fairly evenly distributed. 



Oreocincla macrorhyncha (O. liinata macrorhyncha). Large-billed 

 Ground-Thrush. — On the lower slopes of the mountain, where the 

 tall timber was interspersed with scrub, this bird could usually be 

 observed. While nowhere seen in groups, there appear to be large 

 numbers of this species in the Park. 



Acanthiza diemenensis (A. pusilla diemenensis). Brown-rumped 

 Tit-Warliler. — \'erv common on the lower portions of the reserve. 



Acanthiza ewingi (.-J. e. ewingi). Ewing Tit-Warbler. — This species 

 appeared to take the place of the preceding one at the higher altitudes 

 and where the timber was denser, particularly so from the 1.500 to 

 the J,5(x)-feet level. 



Acantliiza chrysorrtioa {Geohasileus chrysorrhous leachi). Yellow- 

 tailed Tit-Warbler. — Around the clearing at the entrance to the Park 

 several flocks of this species were notecl. h^ach flock contained from 

 20 to 30 individuals.
