BIRDS. 



Nisaetus morphnoicles, Gld. a pair. Of the male, Mr. Broadbent 

 sajs ' I found liim eating a rat on the ground in a small 

 scrub : ' the female was ' found camped in a small white 

 gum on a sand ridge, in the early morning. 



Pandion leucocephalus Gld. parents, and newly hatched young 

 from a nest in a dead tree on a sand ridge.

,, lanoides, 6?ZtZ. A rare bird received by Mr. Gould 



from the north-west coast. Two males and a female in fine 

 plumage were obtained. Mr. Gould's description of the 

 bird in his " Handbook," p. 215, is correct, his original 

 diagnosis (Proc. of Zool. Soc. pt. VII. p. 142), alone given 

 by Mr. Sharpe, (Brit. Mus. Cat. of Birds V. 8. p. 224) con- 

 tains an important error.
