Vol. III. 

 1904 



Hill, Notes from Guildford, W.A. 227 



species, but I only observed about half that number ; there are 

 only about half of these again which are in any way common. 



Circus (sp.) 



NlNOX BOOBOOK. — Two specimens only noted. 



C'ORONE AUSTRALIS. — Common. 



Grallina PICATA. — Rather uncommon. 



COLLYRIOCINCLA RUFIVENTRIS.— Very local. 



GRAUCALUS MELANOPS.— Abundant round Guildford during the latter 

 part of 1902 ; scarce in 1903. 



PETRffiCA CAMPBELLI.— Fairly common. 



SMICRORNIS BREVIROSTRIS.— Seen in parts. 



PSEUDOGERYGONE CULICIVORA.— Extremely abundant ; can be heard 

 anywhere throughout the district at all times. 



MALURUS SPLENDENS.— Common ; clutch usually two eggs. 



Rhipidura PREISSL— Common ; 6/9/03, nests just started, few straws 

 only in place; 9/9/03, nest complete; 19/10/03, nest just begun. I am 

 unable to see the difference between R. freissi and R. albiscapa of Eastern 

 Australia. 



Rhipidura tricolor.— Very common and tame, except during the 

 winter ; sings day and night throughout the year. 

 SlSURA INQUIETA.— Have seen a single bird only. 



ACROCEPHALUS LONGIROSTRIS. — Not to be seen during the winter ; 

 appears in spring, and makes its nest in the first week in December ; eggs 

 not often to be found before the tenth of the month. Will desert the nest 

 if it has been touched. A much quieter bird than A. australis. 



ACANTHIZA INORNATA, A. APICALIS, A. PYRRHOPYGIA, A. CHRYSORRHOA.— 

 All fairly common where there is any timber. A. chrysorrhoa perhaps the 

 most frequently seen. 



EPHTHIANURA ALBIFRONS.— Seems to move about a good deal ; in 1902 

 I did not see a single individual, but it was pretty common in February 

 and March, 1903 ; have not seen it since. 



GYMNORHINA DORSALIS.— Not in very great numbers.— 5/8/02.— Nest 

 started. 28/9/02.— Nest noticed on 5th August, now has' young birds. 

 18/10/02.— Birds just ready to fly. 28/10/02.— Same pair of old birds 

 have started a fresh nest. 1 5/12/02.— New clutch reared, young just 

 flying- 5/8/03.— Nest half finished in next tree to the one mentioned 

 above in August, 1902. 10/9/03.— This nest now has three eggs. 

 14/10/03. — Nice young birds, can just fly. 



CRACTICUS DESTRUCTOR (LEUCOPTERUS). 



EOPSALTRIA GEORGIANA.— Observed on one occasion only. 



PACHYCEPHALA RUFIVENTRIS.— Very common wherever the trees grow 

 at all thickly, but oftener heard than seen.

SlTTELLA PILEATA. — In one or two parts of the district.
