it not been that \Tinter weather forces the birds down to the 
lower lands^ while the migrants have at that season left 
the district. Rain and mist, moreover, were great hindrances 
to my work *. 
1. AsTUR APPROxiMANS Vig. et Horsf. (Campbell, op. cit. 
p. 6). 
Found up to an altitude of 3000 feet. 
2. ACCIPITER CIRRHOCEPHALUS (Vicill.) (op. cit. p. 9). 
Occurred on Mount Sophia at 1800 feet. 
3. NiNox STRENUA Gould (op. cit. p. 48) . 
A pair of these birds were seen at Palm Camp, alt. 4000 feet. 
They are true denizens of the mountains and are always found 
in dark scrubby gullies. I have shot specimens on the Sea- 
View Range, at the back of Cardwell, and on Mount Echo 
up the Herbert River_, as well as on the Luluki River (New 
Guinea). 
4. Strepera GRACULiNA (White) (op. cit. p. 58). 
Specimens of this bird, which is common all over the Cairns 
and Cardwell districts, were obtained at 4000 feet. In its 
nest the Channel-billed Cuckoo (Scytkrops novce-hollandia) 
lays its eggs. I have seen about three hundi'ed of these 
Crow-Shrikes, in January, in company with quite a hundred 
Channel-billed Cuckoos, in the mountains twenty-five miles 
from Cardwell, at the head of the Murray River. 
5. Ptilorhis victoria Gould (op. cit. p. 69). 
This is the Queensland '^ Bird of Priradise,''^ coniraon at 
3000 feet on Bellenden-Ker, and also found at Herberton 
(4500 feet), Barnard^s Isle off Cardwell, and in the big scrub 
from forty miles out of Townsville to as far as the Bloomfield 
River, over a range of two hundred miles. It is more 
plentiful on the western side than on the eastern fall, as there 
are big open scrubs on that side in which Cassowaries and 
Orthonyx abound.
