needlc-wood and iiinl<;a — Blno-botiiH'ts, (ialahs. I>are-e.yed 

 Cockatoos, W'ai'blin*;- Grass Parakeets. Kites, Whistling 

 Eagles, and Bennett's Crows were jtlentifnl here, and Owlet 

 Mglitjars were heard during th* evening. In the nunning a 

 fine Black Falcon flew np the «-reek and a Little lOagh- was 

 seen. As we intended woi'king this ereek inor<> thoroughly on 

 our return, no time was s])ent on the outward journe\, and we 

 were soon on our way to Callabonna Our station. Tlii^ was 

 reached over a bad road at 2 p.m. The ereek runs out uiio 

 marshy land some eight miles before reaching the iioinesteaJ. 

 which is quite neai- the shores of the L.Ike. After a chat with 

 Mr. Bill Hayes, who is in charge, and a consultation in which 

 Bou'lka Fred, another smiling old fraud of a blackboy, and Sit- 

 down .rimmy took ]>art, we set off to search for the site of the 

 fossil remains situate somewhei-e on the lOo-mile cipcun^ference 

 of this Lake. I believe that this measurement is an exagge- 

 ration, but I am repeating it {Ls a, sample of the inforuiatioii 

 supplied locally, which is more than half hearsay. 



It must be quite twenty years ago that the late ^Ir. Zietz 

 and party established a cani]» at this fossil dejxjsil, and on 

 behalf of the South Australian Museum obtained the r«Mnains 

 of the Diprotodon, a coauplete skeleton of which in the Museum 

 at present is a standing meuKu-ial to the patience and skill of 

 Mr. TiWt'A. The local aboriginals informed us that they knew 

 where this camp had been. Mr. Hayes could not give us any 

 definite information on the subject. He. however, .^tartsd 

 Boulka Fred and another ancient off in a buckboard and we 

 followed. There was no road, and the surface over wiiich we 

 had to ti'avel was typical of this wind-swept (tesert sali lake 

 country. Howeve", we managed to get some eighf^^ miles along 

 the lake to a ismall watercourse opposite an island out in the 

 lake, and there Ave decided to camp, still a good mile from the 

 margin of the lake pro])er — a glistening ex]tanse of salt.

When taking delivery of the egg collection of the late Dr. 

 Angove, generously donated to the S.A. Oi-uithologlcal Associa- 

 tion by Mrs. Angove. jun., a few Tiotes taken by the late Dr. 

 Angove were found. 



Thinking that these are worthy of piihiieation, the writer 

 takes the lihertv of ivwriting them.
