7\G Mr. T. Carter on some [Ibis, 



Neonanodes elegans carteri. 



Allied Grass-Parrots were very scarce in February and 

 March 1919 about Broome Hill, where they were fairly 

 common in previous years. The only examples seen on this 

 trip were a few perched on the telegraph-wires alongside the 

 Gnowangerup road on 18 February, from which place I 

 was returning to Broome Hill by motor mail. I walked 

 out, a day or two afterwards, to the spot where I had seen 

 them, but could not find any. 



Neonanodes petrophilus petrophilus. 



Western Rock-Parrots seem to be getting rapidly scarcer 

 along the south-west coasts. None were seen in the vicinity 

 of (Jape Mentelle in March 1916, and only one was observed 

 at Cape Leeuwin in April 1919, but some of the lighthouse 

 employees there told me that sometimes these birds were 

 fairly common there. They were numerous in parts of 

 Shark Bay during my visit there in 1916. 



Melopsittacus undulatus. 



Very few Betcherrygars were seen about the mid-west 

 districts in 1911, but they were plentiful in 1916, which was 

 a year of good rains. 



Podargus strigoides brachypterus. 



Only a few Western Frogmouths were seen in the course 

 of my four trips, and they were mostly in the vicinity of 

 Broome Hill, and usually disturbed from sleeping on the 

 ground in the dense Ma-lock scrubs. 



.fflgotheles cristata cristata. 



No specnnens of Owlet-Nightjars were obtained or seen, 

 but they were heard in many localities in the south-west 

 area, mostly about Broome Hill and Gnowangerup. 



Dacelo gigas. 



Brown Kingfishers, originally acclimatized in Western 

 Australia, are now spread over all the south-west area, and
