Maiden’s Blush tree (Echinocarpus australis.) In company with Harold Blakeney I found several of 
these nests at Ourimbah, in December of 1905, but the birds had deserted them, and those which 
originally contained one egg were found empty on our second visit, whereas they really should have had 
two or three eggs in each. They are the strangest little creatures in the bush, on account of the way in 
which they carry their eggs away from the nests. An egg of this set measures = 0°60 x 0°43.

Sisura inguieta, Latham. 
Well marked set of 3 eggs, taken by C. Reid and Sid. W. Jackson, at Swan Creek, Clarence River, 
ATOMer N.S.W., on the 16th of September, 1894. The nest, which contained also an egg of the Pallid Cuckoo,

=O7O) XNOthS. 
450 : PALLID CUCKOO, 
Cuculus pallidus, Latham. 
One egg, taken with the above set of 3 Flycatcher’s eggs. This Cuckoo lays a very small egg for 
its size. It measures = 0'92 xX 0'70. 
SHINING FLYCATCHER,

Piezorhynchus nitidus, Gould. 
Set of 3 eggs, taken by E. Drew from 
one of the Mangrove belts on the Nicholson 
River, North-west Queensland, on the 
24th of December, 1895. Specimen A. 
measures = 0°83 xX 0°50. 
418 97 3 SATIN FLYCATCHER, 
Myiagra nitida, Gould. 
Set of 3 eggs, taken by M. W. 
Harrison, at Glenorchy, Tasmania, on the

measures = 0°74 X 0°56. 
419 95 3 LEADEN-COLOURED FLY- 
CATCHER, 
Mytagra rubecula, Latham. 
Set of 3 eggs, taken on the 3rd of 
December, 1893, by Frank and Sid. W. NEST OF THE LEADEN-COLOURED FLYCATCHER. 
Jackson, at Clarenza, South Grafton, New oes eta 
f ie Loc., Clarenza, South Grafton, N.S.W. 
South Wales. The nest, a photograph (See data No. 419.) 
of which accompanies this description, was 
built on a small dead limb of a tall Yellow Box Eucalypt (Zucalyptus melliodora), and placed at an 
altitude of 69 feet. We found many of these pretty nests, and they were always very high up in 
the Eucalyptus trees, being in such awkward positions as to render them often very difficult to scoop 
the eggs from. I also found several nests built in the tall Blackbutt trees (Zucalyptus filudaris) 
about Roseville and Chatswood, near Sydney, during September and October of 1906. An egg of the 
set measures = 0°68 x 0°53.
