that Mr. Jackson secured the eggs of the letter-winged kite for 

 Mr. H. L. White. The storekeeper informed me that a fortnight 

 previously he had seen several birds about 45 miles west of the 

 station house, and that they were always about that particular

41. Black-cheeked Falcon { Rhynchodon peregrinus) — A 

 few birds seen. 



42. Little Falcon {Falco longipennis) — A few birds noted, 

 but is more common than 41.

 several nests with three eggs noted. 



44. Nankeen Kestrel (Cerchncis cencJiroides) — Many pairs 

 of Kestrel were seen, and two nests found, each containino- five 

 eggs. Both of these nests ap])eared to have been built by the 

 Kestrels. Previous to this I have always found that the bird 

 uses a deserted crow's nest or takes a hollow or ledge of rock. 



45. Banksian Cockatoo (CaljjptorhyncJiiis hanJcsii) — 

 Flocks of 40 or 50 birds were at three large waterlioles on Mt. 

 Leonard Station. ,At Currawilla I found a nest about 20 yards 

 from the blacksm.ith's shop, containing one well-fledged young 

 bird. 



46. Pink Cockatoo (TyOphorJiroa Icadbeateri) — A few odd 

 birds noted. 



47. Rose-breasted Cockatoo (Eolophiis roseicapilh(s) — 

 These birds were about the watercourses in great numbers, and 

 many nesting hollows were inspected, but in no case was more 

 than three eggs found. 



4S. Bare-eyed Cockatoo (Dt(corpsii(.9 qjfmnopis) — This bird 

 was as common as th^iDrevious one. The maioritv of nestino: 

 hollows could h<=' vpn^-h<^(\ from the ground, several contained
