A Census of the Birds Between Amity Point and Dimwich, on 

 Stradbroke Island.- — Mr. A. Le Souef has kindly given me the 

 following census of the birds seen or heard by him whilst walking 

 the 8 miles between these two points during the late afternoon : — 

 Pheasant-Coucals, Q ; Leaden Fly-catchers, 4 ; Yellow-breasted 

 Shrike-Robins, 4 ; Cisticolce (in two miles of swamp), 8 : Sanguineous 

 Honey-eaters, 23 ; Brown Honey-eaters, 50 ; Friar-Birds, 27 ; 

 and Butcher-Birds, 2. He adds that "it is fair to assume that 

 for every one Sanguineous Honey-eater or Friar-Bird heard there 

 were at least two birds present, for the female of the first species 

 does not call, and Friar-Birds generally go about in flocks." 



The Sizes of the Red Corpuscles of Birds. — I have on previous

 and alone {Trans, and Proc. Roy. Soc. of S.A., xxxix., 1915, 

 p. 38), given the results of the measurements of the sizes of the 

 red cells from various species of birds. The red cells were those 

 in dried films of blood made at the time the birds in question 

 were shot. Though by no means an ideal method for preserving 

 the red cells in their original shape, results have nevertheless
