An interesting notice o£ the manner in which the seeds 

 of Loranthus, a mistletoe-like plant^ pass through the body 

 of Dicaum without losing their sticky covering, so that 

 they adhere to where they are dropped and subsequently 

 germinate, is communicated by Mr. A. M. Moi'gan; while 

 Mr. Mellor informs us that the Cuckoo (Cacomantis 

 rubricatus) has been observed depositing an egg in the nest 

 of Acanthiza pusilla, in the neighbourhood of Adelaide, 

 where it was supposed to be only a winter visitor.
