130 Hall, The Birds of Eyre Peninsula, S.A . [ ^^f "j^,,. 



365. Anellobl\ CHRYSOPTERA, Lath. {Acaiithochccra iiiellivora), (Brush 

 Wattle-Bird). 

 I was interested in watching the attack upon a lace lizard ( Varatius) as it 

 ran across the railway. The pair of birds several times darted furiously, 

 the lizard halting each time for a moment. It eventually got across and 

 into the cover of a bracken bush. 



376. Pardalotus ornatus, Temm. (Striated Pardalote). 



Specimens showed an orange speculum. Years ago, in Western Australia, 

 I secured a skin with a yellow speculum. This in my mind makes 

 P. ornatus variable in speculum, being scarlet, orange, or yellow. 



Loc— Wanilla. Hab. — 4, 6, 7, 9. 

 385. HiRUNDO neoxena, Gld. (Swallow).

 A flock travelled past the camp.

393. Artamus personatus, Gld. (Masked Wood-Swallow). 

 Two flocks were seen.

398 Artamus tenebrosus, Lath. {A. sordidus), (Wood-Swallow). 

 Loc— Wanilla. Hab.— 4, 6, 7, 9. 



437. PODARGUS STRIGOIDES, Lath. (Tawny Frogmouth), 



Of the one specimen secured the general plumage was freckled, not tawny, 

 excepting the shoulder. The wing was 1 1 inches. The bulk of the bird 

 appeared to be on the smaller side. 



Loc— Wanilla. Hab.— 4, 6, 7, 9. 



442. Merops ORNATUS, Lath. (Bee-eater). 



In Wanilla it was about in pairs, while at the eastern foot of the Marble 

 Range it was still in a flock. 



Loc— Well distributed. Hab.— 4, 6, 7, 9. 



447. DacelO gigas, Bodd. (Brown Kingfisher). 



Loc— Marble Range. Hab. — 4, 6, 7 (introduced into 9). 



456. CUCULUS inornatus, Lath. (C pallidus), (Pallid Cuckoo). 

 Loc— Kellidie Bay. Hab.— 4, 6, 7, 9. 



457. Cacomantis rUFULUS, Lath. {C.flabelliformis\ (Fan-tailed Cuckoo). 

 The range of breeding is probably wide. One skin was that of a well- 

 developed young bird. 



Loc— Wanilla. Hab.— 4, 6, 7, 9. 



468. Trichoglossus nov^-hollandi^, Gm. (Blue-bellied Lorikeet). 



One pair nested on the western side of the camp, again proving itself to 

 be a particularly garrulous bird. 



Loc— Wanilla. Hab.— 4, 6, 7. 



473. Glossopsittacus porphyrocephalus, Dietr. (Purple-crowned 

 Lorikeet). 

 Loc— Wanilla. Hab.— 6, 7, 9.
