" The Bl;ick-and-White Fan-tailed Flycatcher was rather 

 common everywhere, and had more the appearance than the 

 habits of a Flycatcher. 



" At Wakatimi when I first arrived I found the nest of this 

 species placed on an exposed branch of a tree overhanging 

 the river ; it was a small cup-shaped structure plastered on 

 the outside with cobwebs. It contained two eggs which 

 were unfortunately broken when trying to remove them. 



"The female (No. 18) shot on the 23rd of August was the 

 sitting-bird. While coming down to Wakatimi for the last 

 time in March 1911 I observed another nest, on which the 

 bird was sitting, placed on a branch of a submerged dead 

 tree in the open river. The nest appeared to be in every 

 way similar to the first." — C.H.B. G.
