in the valley of the Moorabool, at Lethbridge, on 
November izth, 191 1, v^hich, with other late records 
from near Ocean Grove, lead me to the conclusion 
that more than one brood is hatched in the season. 
Several nests are often found in the immediate 
vicinity of each other, as might be expected in the 
case of a bird which is rarely seen except in flocks ; 
but I have never met with a case where it was clear 
that more than one female had laid in the same 
nest, as has been recorded of this species by other 
observers.
