streamers of bleached sea- weed, which gave the nest a novel and 

 pleaaing appearance. The egg has a rough ground of a bluish - 

 white colour^ with a few minute spots of brownish-red near the 

 larger end ; it is of an oval form, 2 inches 1 line in length by 

 1 inch 6 lines in breadth. Mr. Rainbird states that this species 

 of Hawk is far from rare about Port Denison. Throughout the 

 whole year many may be seen hovering over the water near the 

 mouths of the creeks, and over the salt-marshes, which are 

 invariably edged with dense belts of high mangroves.
