THE JACKSONIAN OOLOGICAL COLLECTION. 
WEDGE BILL, 
Sphenostoma cristatum, Gould. 
Taken by S. Robinson, at Opher Creek, near Cunnamulla, South-west Queensland, on 12th 
September, 1898. Set of 2 eggs. They are blue, marked sparingly with dark spots and blotches, and 
resemble those of the Coach-whip bird, only they are very much smaller. Specimen A. measures in 
inches = o’95 x 0°68. 
SHRIKE TIT, 
Falcunculus frontatus, Latham. 
Taken at Glen Ugie Peak, near Grafton, N.S.W., by W. McEnerny and Sid. W. Jackson, on rgth 
November, 1893. Nest very difficult to get at. Set of 2 eggs. Specimen A. measures in inches 
= 090 x 0°65. These birds I found plentiful in the bush between North Sydney and Hornsby. 
Drawer C. 
WONGA WONGA PIGEON, 
Leucosarcia picata, Latham. 
Taken by Frank and Sid. W. Jackson, in scrub at Coutt’s Crossing, near Grafton, N.S.W., on 
23rd December, 1894. I have always found these nests very difficult to find. Set of 2 eggs. 
Specimen A. measures in inches = 1°52 x I'I5. 
BRONZE-WINGED PIGEON, 
Phaps chalcoptera, Latham. 
Taken by Sid. W. Jackson, from a Red Eucalypt tree, near South Grafton, N.S.W., on oth 
November, 1897. Set of 2 eggs. Specimen A. measures = 1°37 x 1°06. 
BRUSH BRONZE-WINGED PIGEON, 
Phaps elegans, Temminck. 
Taken by Sid. W. Jackson, at Port Hacking, Sydney, on 7th September, 1903. Nest built in 
Dwarf Apple tree (Angophora cordifolia.) Set of 2 eggs. 
Taken from Dwarf Apple tree, at Freshwater, Manly, Sydney, on 7th December, r1go1, by E. Hull, 
A. F. Basset. Hull, and Sid. W. Jackson. Nest was unusually large, and was placed six feet above the 
ground in the latter tree. Set of 2 eggs. I found many nests of this pigeon in the thick bush 
in the environs of Sydney, but only took eggs from four of them. Some were old nests, and were 
placed at heights varying from three to fifteen feet from the ground. These birds seem to have a 
decided preference in placing their nests in the Dwarf Apple tree (Axgophora cordifolia), and the 
narrow-leaved Apple tree (Angophora lanceolata), and 1 have never found them built in any others. 
Specimen A. measures = 1°27 X 0°93.
