The greater number of these birds are from the South-East- 

 ern district, but a few are from Port Lincoln. 



A number of clutches of eggs were weighed, and the rela- 

 tion to the weight of the bird estimated when the latter was 

 known. The bird weighed was, in most cases, not the parent 

 of the eggs.
