Dendrolagus is said by the natives to be on the ranges, and no 
doubt occurs there, but none were obtained by us. 
The ground birds started nesting in August, and we obtained 
nests and eggs of Heteromyias cinereifrons and Orthonyx spaldingi. 
The former lays two eggs and builds a nest on the “ lawyer ” 
vines about four feet from the ground. Orthonyx spaldingi lays 
but one egg for a sitting, and usually builds at the root of a tree 
or vine, but we found some nests as high from the ground as 
twelve feet on staghorn ferns. 
The majority of birds on the tableland and ranges do not nest 
until towards the end of the year. 
We obtained a mummy and some native implements, <fcc., from 
camps at the heads of the Johnson and Mulgrave Rivers. The 
dilly bags and water buckets are made by the old men.
