" The nest of P. albiventris is similar in every respect to that of 

 Monarcha melanopsis, Vieillot, but slightly smaller, and the eggs 

 of the several species are scarcely to be distinguished from one 

 another excepting by their size. Those of P. albiventris, Gould, 

 measure 0-8 inch in length x 0"56 inch in breadth. The ground 

 colour is white, the whole surface being sprinkled with freckles 

 and dots of bright red, which becoming confluent near the thicker 

 end, there form a zone.'' {Ramsay, P.L.S., N.S. W., Vol. i., 2nd

" This pretty Flycatcher arrives in the vicinity of Sydney about 

 the same time as Moria/rcha ca/rinata,* or perhaps a little earlier. 

 It is however, much more regular in its visits than that bird, 

 coming' every year, whereas the other is not so regular, nor in 

 such constant numbers. Myiagra plumbea t is a pleasing, active 

 little bird, ever on the move, and even when perched continues
