Birds Found Nesting at Blackwood on October 

 25th last. 



By A. M. Morgan. 



Pseudartamus cyanopterus—Tfnsky wood swallow.— Bird 

 sitting. 



Campbdlomis personatus munna — Masked wood swallow — 

 Many nests building or with two eggs. 



Campbellornis superciliosus— White-browed wood swallow. 

 —Many nests building or with two eggs. 



Pardalotus punctatus — Spotted Diamond bird. — Nest with 

 four fresh eggs. 



Pardalotus punctatus xanthopygus — Yellow-rumped 

 Diamond bird.— A pair seen digging out a tunnel on flat 

 ground. Another tunnel was found which probably belonged 

 to this bird, but it could not be identified with certainty. 

 These birds are readily distinguishable by their notes. That 

 of P. punctatus is a double note, rather high pitched, like "pew- 

 ter." That of P.P. xanthopygus is also a double note, the first 

 high pitched, followed after an interval of a second by a low 

 pitched note, not audible for more than 20 or 30 yards. 



Phaps chalcoptera — Bronzewing pigeon. — Bird sitting. 



Seisura inquieta— Restless flycatcher — Nest, with bird 

 sitting.
