Haunts of the Spotted Bower-Bird (Chlamydodera maculata GUI.). By 

 Sidney Wm. Jackson. — A very interesting paper of 40 pages describing in 

 the form of a daily diary a trip to Cambo Cambo, 500 miles northwest 

 of Sydney, N. S. W., for the purpose of studying the habits and nidifi- 

 cation of the Bower-Bird and other species. Admirable illustrations of the 

 playgrounds and nests are presented as well as one of the nest of Pseudo- 

 gerygone jacksoni, which was discovered on this trip. One of the play- 

 grounds figured contained bleached bones of sheep, toe-bones of the Emu, 

 pieces of glass, iron and tin nails, buttons, screws, washers, bottle-necks, 

 small stones, pieces of Emu eggshell, pods, berries and a cartridge case. 

 Mr. Jackson's entomological forceps and an aluminum teaspoon from 

 his camp were soon added to the collection!

Notes on the Mistletoe Bird (Dicoewn hirundinaceum). By L. G. 

 Chandler. 



Notes and correspondence indicate that Mr. Gregory Mathews' recent 

 publications are bringing the Australian ornithologists violently face to 

 face with the subspecies question — a problem which became familiar to 

 Americans nearly a generation ago but which is apparently not yet settled 

 to everyone's satisfaction.
