 smaller and rounder compai-ed with clutch taken at IVatree 

 Gully. Zone is well marked, but there the markings in most

 is very fond of pine trees, and is everywhere fonnd on the pine- 

 studded flats near Mannum. 



Acanthiza pusilla (Brown Tit- Warbler) — Found com- 

 monly in samphire country on Torrens Island, where they nest 

 low down in the samphire bushes a foot or so from ground, and 

 the nest is rather difiScult to find. At Pt. Gawler, St. Kild;r, and 

 LeFevre's Peninsula also we have found th&m in same position. 

 They are early bi-eeders, nests being found in August.
