solidated material. Though well known phenomena, such 
tunnels are always of interest to geologists, but it is to 
be doubted if anywhere such another exists possessing 
the charm of the triple combination, waterfall, and cave, 
and tropical jungle.

Bird Notes, by G. H. Barker. 
In some respects, our visit to this locality was a dis- 
appointment, due chiefly, perhaps, to the fact that the 
camp, situated as it was, on the border of so many different 
types of country, much was expected from it in the way 
of variety of bird life. Our total list for the four days 
totalled only 60 different kinds, and many of these were 
records of only one bird of the species. As a matter of fact, 
the list is almost as interesting from the point of view of 
what we did not see, rather than from what we did. 
Outstanding features of the outing from an 
ornithological point of view, were the finding of a brush- 
turkey quite close to the) camp, the location of a spine- 
tailed log-runner *s nest, with two eggs, by Mrs. Herbert 
Curtis, the three rosellas, almost together, in one paddock, 
a fine* flock of white cockatoos, and a number of black 
cockatoos, and a company of white-backed swallows, on 
the same wire fence as a like number of welcome swallows. 
The presence of small flocks of bell birds, and the tameness 
of butcher birds, both grey an,d black-throated, who came 
regularly to the camp mess tables for scraps, and fought 
over them.
