This beautiful little Swift is common at the base of 
Bellenden-Ker and up to an altitude of 1800 feet. I have 
seen it catching flies iu the lowlands even when it was nearly 
dark^ and then moving off" towards the mountains, it breeds 
in the rocky gorges of the Coast Range^ from the Herbert 
Eiver to above Cairns, but is not found so far north as Cape 
York. It is most common in the low country on wet days.

This Bee-eater was common on sunny days at Granite 
Camp (380 feet), and was also seen in June at an altitude oE 
] 800 feet on Mount Barnard.

48. Tanysiptera sylvia Gould (op. cit. p. 561). 
A nest was seen at 1800 feet. This bird, a true denizen 
of the scrub, bores into a termites^ nest and lays four beau- 
tiful roundish white eggs. It delights in the gullies of the 
mountains, from north of the Herbert Uiver to Cape York, 
during October, November, and December. It feeds its 
young on termites. 
49. Cacomantis variolosus (Horsf.) (op. cit. p. 572). 
Found at 3000 feet on Bellenden-Ker. This handsome 
bird used to utter its mournful call all night, while we were 
shooting tree-kangaroos in the mountains. It is not found 
near Brisbane. 
50. Centropus phasianus (Lath.) (op. cit. p. 590). 
On Bellenden-Ker at 1800 feet. Found all along the east 
coast of Queensland, and there called the Swamp-Pheasant. 
It builds in low grassy flats and hatches its own eggs.
