 Yellow Wagtails, on a similar hillside. I soon obtained a good view of this Blue- 

 throat, and it, too, had an insect in its bill. It was less shy than the first one. I 

 had no doubt of a nest this time, and selecting a point of observation behind a 

 bush, waited and watched. At last I gave it up, intending to return the next 

 day. Hut that proved to be my last day with the birds at Cape Blossom, for the 

 "Penelope" had arrived from her winter (|uarters at I{scholtz Bay, and we had to 

 make preparations for sailing. The single specimen obtained of Cra>f<r///a siwcica 

 is an adult male in somewhat worn plumage. That this species was breeding at 

 Cape Blossom, 1 have no dou])t. and I can easily see how I could have previous- 

 ly entirely overlooked it, on account of its unfamiliar habits and notes.
