9. The Crested Pigeon. Ocyphaps lophotes, I first 
saw in the coastal region on the Beaudesert Road in a 
rather noisy flock about, 15 or 20 miles from town, in 
trees by the roadside. 
Not very long afterwards, they appeared on 
Stephens Bros.’ property adjoining the Lamington 
National Park. 
Not long ago, I saw two dozen or more spread over 
the branches of a dead wattle tree near Mr. Ray Stephens' 
house, and they are all about the locality. 
I noticed that they are now cunning enough to 
make their nests in thick clumps of the very prickly 
Cudrania javanensis. One would think that the birds 
themselves could hardly get into them. 
A FURTHER NOTE ON THE CUPID BLUE 
BUTTERFLY 
By W. I). DICK 
The life-story of the Cupid Blue (Euchrysops 
cnejus cnidus Waterhouse and Lyell) was described in 
Queensland Nat., Vol. 13, pp. 79-81 (1947). The 
food-plant is Vigna oexillata (L.) Benth., a native olant 
closely allied to the Cow Pea. I have also noted the 
butterfly has adopted the Poona Pea for a food-plant. 
I have it under cultivation here and notice a few butter- 
flies on it laying their eggs and freshly emerged insects 
flying around. The attendant ant is Pheidole impres- 
siceps Meyrick.
