Late Breeding of Yellow-tailed Thornbill, Acanthiza 

 chrysorrhoa. — On loth February I found a nest wf these birds in 

 one of tlie Pepper-trees, Schinus molle, in my garden. On 

 inserting my finger into the entrance I found that it contained 

 three young ones nearly Hedged, and on the 14th they left the 

 nest, and were following the old birds about the garden. 

 Although 1 have seen a great many nests of these birds in my 

 rambles, I never found one with either eggs or young ones later 

 than November. It is one of the early breeders, and a few 

 years ago a nest containing eggs was found in a neighbour's 

 garden on 8th August. — d. A. Keartland. Preston, i6th April,
