Hydvrochelidon hybrida, Pallas. 
Beautiful clutch of 3 eggs, taken on a swamp by H. Scotney, at Shamrock, near Cunnamulla, 
South-west Queensland, on the 2oth of December, 1903. I have frequently seen these pretty birds 
flying over the swamps on the Clarence River, but never knew of them to breed there; I think they 
go well into the interior parts for that purpose. An average specimen of this set measures in inches 
= I'47 X I'IO.
