 This is not uncommon in the valley of the Fitzroy, but was 

 not met with at Springswre or further west. 



Fardalotus melanocephali&s, Gld. The Black-headed Diamond 

 Bird. Tiiis bird has a more extensive range in the 

 district than any other species of Pardalotus occnring 

 in it. It was frequently observed both in the valley of 

 the Fitzroy and in that of the Alice River, and was 

 especially common in the Berserkers. 



Shrikes — Strepera graculina, White. The Pied Crow-shrike or

 winter months.

 the whole district. It was breeding at Springsure during 

 October, in which month I observed a nest in that locality

 where.
