( liberated and fall into the crevices of the bark, soon taking root. I haveseen the Spotted Eucalypti 
and other trees in the Clarence River district just one mass of this parasitical pest. Our orchards in 
Australia suffer from it if they are not properly looked after. Several different species of this Mistletoe 
have often come under my notice in the bush, and [ have frequently found nests built in them. In 
l Loranthus celastroides 1 found the nests of the Crow (Corvus coronoides), Sparrow Hawk (Accipiter 
cirrhocephalus), Red-browed Finch (42 gintha temporalis), etc., and likewise in Loranthus pendulus, Both 
these Mistletoes infest the various Eucalyptus trees. In Lovanthus linophyllus, which grows on the 
303 Forest Oak (Casuarina torulosa), I have often found the nests of the Satin Bower Bird (Ptilonorhynchus 
violaceus) ; and in Loranthus alyxifolius, which grows on the Booyong (Tarrietia actinophylla), and other 
trees in the rich scrubs of the Richmond River district, I have on two occasions found those of the 
Regent Bower Bird (Seviculus melinus). Another parasite which I found common about North Sydney 
is known as Nofothixos incanus, and frequently grows on Loranthus celastroides, or some other parasitical 
growth. Specimen A. of the set measures in inches = 0°67 x 0748.
