35. Pandion Ualiaetus cristatus — Osprey. — Seen at Wedge 

 and Gamtoier Islands. The Messrs. Golley say they nest on 

 both islands. We saw one hawking over the shallow water 

 at Wedge Island, but unfortunately did not see the plumage. 

 The Messrs. Golley say they sometimes disappear beneath the 

 water when striking their fish. The flight when hawking is 

 heavy and flapping. 



36. Spiloglauw, sp. — A Brown Owl. — Is said by the 

 Messrs. Golley to live in the bushes of Wedge Island, which 

 has not the Boobook note. Capt. White searched for, but 

 did not find it. These owls must nest in the rocks, as there 

 are no hollow trees. 



37. Neonanodes p.etrophilus — Rock Parrot. — Seen in small 

 flocks of five or six on the Spit, Althorpes,, Wedge, and Trou- 

 bridge Islaris. There are no rocks on either the Spit or Trou- 

 bridge Island. 



38. Ncochalciics basalis mellori — Narrow-billed Bronze 

 Cuckoo. — Seen at Pondalowie Bay and Wedge Island. A 

 young bird was shot at the latter place, so they probably 

 breed there. Iris, dull white; legs and feet, dark grey; nails, 

 black; bill, olive brown. 



39. Hirundo , neoxena — Welcome Swallow. — Common 

 whereever there were cliffs. It was also seen off the Grange, 

 three miles out at sea, where they were catching insects blown 

 out by the off shore wind. The Messrs. Golley say they stay 

 at Wedge Island throughout the winter.

 sea off the Grange.
