 Common all along the coast and on the Valley Lake at Mount 

 Gambler. The Black-faced Pied Shag {HypoleAicus fuscescGus)

 regarded it as the ocean cormorant, and is known to occur 

 and breed off the S.E. coast.

 mon. The swampy country and great cutting grass flats are 

 peculiarly suited to its habits, and a pair or more were always 

 to be 'seen hunting over the flats throughout the trip. At

 A nest with one fresh ef^cix was found in some tall reeds on 

 the Glenelg River: it was visited again but the birds had 

 deserted it.
