Common, frequenting the rivers in small parties.

Glareola megapoda Reichen. J. f. O. 1897, p. 3 (Togoland). 
River Volta (near Krachi). 
We found this bird in small colonies, frequenting the rooky- 
portions of the river from Krachi downwards. 
We never met with G. cinerea, though it has been obtained 
on this river, and by Capt. Gifford on the Upper White Volta, 
near Gambaga. It must be a rare bird. 
Our examples of G. marchii are paler on the upper and 
under parts than the specimens in the British Museum from 
the Niger. The habit which this bird has of basking on the 
rocks in the full glare of the sun must soon bleach the 
plumage and cause the gloss to disappear from the upper 
parts.

Queensland. By Kendal Broadbent. 
The following list comprises the names of the species which 
I met with on Mount Bellenden-Ker, the highest mountain in 
Queensland, during the months of June, July, and August 
1889. As specimens from that locality have been from time 
to time mentioned in various works, I think that it may be 
of interest to the readers of ' The Ibis ' to have full particulars 
in their hands. The aggregate would have been greater had
