district. In company with my brother, Frank T. A. Jackson, I made my first find of the nest and eggs 
of this bird at South Grafton, in this district, on August 17th, 1891. The nest was, as is so frequently 
the case, a deserted tenement of the “ Babbler,” or as we called it in those days the “ Dog Bird,” and 
was situated in the very topmost branches of a tall narrow-leaved Apple Tree (Angophora lanceolata), 
being both difficult and dangerous to approach, and after some hours of hard work with ropes, ladders, 
poles, etc., in the face of a westerly gale, my brother took the two precious eggs from the old_bark- 
lined structure. They were, however, in a very advanced state of incubation, and in those days of 
rather primitive egg blowing methods, were beyond our skill to neatly empty, so it was a true case of 
‘loves labour lost.” Specimen A. of this clutch (No. 482) measures = 1°27 x 0°87.
