A Bird Census Between Dalhy and the Bunya Mountains. — ^The 

 distance between Dalby and the foot of the Bunya Mountains is 

 about 30 miles. More than half of this distance is over almost 

 bare black-soil plains. Undulating foothills are then reached, 

 clothed more or less with timber, interspersed between which are 

 farms. The country becomes more rugged near the foot of the 

 mountains. The party proceeded by motor-cars, the rate varying 

 from about 15 to about 25 miles an hour. It was decided that 

 several of us should try independently the method of taking a 

 bird census described to members by the writer. The results are 

 given in the accompanying table, but for comparative purposes
