the end enlarged to a hole about five inches in diameter, and 
lined with a little dead grass on the bottom, to form a nest. 
Egg. Clutch one: dull white, slightly spotted at the 
larger end with reddish brown. Dimensions 33-5 by 25 mm. 
Breeding-season, January. Taken on 24th January, 1914, 
on Lord Howe Island. 
Fregettornis insularis Mathews.

brownish specks at the larger end. Dimensions 36 by 25 mm.

Mr. E. C. Stcvarr BAKER made the following corrections 
to his notes in the ‘ Bulletin,’ xxxix., January 29th, 1919 :— 
Mr. W. E. Wait has drawn my attention to an important 
error in my article of the above date. The eggs of a Cuckoo 
which he found in the nests of Rhopocichla were those of 
Surniculus, and the eggs of Penthoceryx sonnerati waiti were 
taken from the nests of Thamnolia fulicata and githina 
tiphia. 
Major R. E. Cuzsseman sent the following note on 
Passer moabiticus mesopotamicus. 
I am indebted to Mr. Jourdain for pointing out that 
Zarudny discovered this Sparrow nesting on the Karun 
River, 8.W. Persia, in 1904, and described the eggs, 
The statement in ‘ Bulletin’ of the B. O. C. no. cexlvi., 
that the nesting colony discovered by me near Bagdad in 
1919 is the first record of the nest and eggs, should 
therefore read—the first nest and eggs recorded from 
Mesopotamia, and not as stated in the ‘ Bulletin.’
