West Australia/^ by Mr. G. F. Hill, already mentioned^ aud 

 another new species described from his collection, Erythro- 

 triorchis riifutibia. Mr. A. F. Basset Hull writes on the 

 breeding of (J£strelata leucoptera on Cabbagetrce Island, 

 N.S.W., where Gould formerly recorded the bird; Mi'. H. 

 L. White describes the nest and eggs of Calcunanthus monta- 

 nellus, and Mr. E. Ashby a new species, Ephthiunura lovensis, 

 from Leigh's Creek, S.A. 



In Part 5, Mr. F. L. W hillock gives us his obser- 

 vations on the birds of the Stirling Ranges, AYcstern 

 Australia. In particular, he met with Calamanthus monta- 

 nellus, Malurus j)ulcherrimus , and Melithreptus leucogenys, 

 and obtained nests aud eggs of the two former for Mr. H. 

 L. White, who was responsible for the expedition. 



A paper by Mr. G. M. Mathews should be carefully 

 studied by all working at Australian birds, as it gives 

 alterations in nomenclature required to bring his ''Hand-list" 

 up to date, while he accepts all the rules of the International 

 Congresses, Mr. S. W. Jackson writes on the haunts of 

 Atricliornis riifescens in the "scrubs " of New South Wales, 

 Avhere he found the nest and eggs, but failed to procure the 

 female. Finally, Mr. H, L. White describes as new the 

 eggs of Cracticus mentalis, Xanthotis filigera, Trichoglossus 

 septentrionalis , and Halcyon barnardi, all from Cape York, 

 Queensland.
