The Black-and-White Fantail. — Mr. L. Kcllaway, of Wood- 

 stock, Huon, (Icscribcd to me last week an entirely (to him) 

 unknown bird which he saw near his house. Mr. Kellaway's 

 description of the bird, which he had observed very closely, left 

 no doubt whatever tliat it was a Black-and-White Fantail. I 

 have made inquiries from several other persons who have seen 

 this bird, and I am (piite sure of its identity, and pretty certain 

 also that no one liereabouts has lost such a bird from a cage ; yet 

 it seems strange that if " Willie " has l^own or hvvn blown across 

 the Strait he should have got so far south. Can any of your 

 readers say if the Victorian Black-and-White Fantail {Rhipidura 

 motacilloides) has been seen in Tasmania before ? — G. Murray 

 Anderson. Franklin (Tas.), 15/11/19.
