40. Grallina cyanoleuca (Magpie-lai'k) : Abundant, especially 
on the lawns. Breeds in spring or summer. 
41. Coracina novae-hollandiae (Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike): 
Common in all seasons. 
42. Lalage tricolor (White-winged Triller) : A visitor of the 
spring-time; is a trustful bird with a pleasing song. 
43. Sphecotheres vieilloti (Southern Fig-bird): Common, as 
in most of suburban Brisbane. Prefers the trees nearer 
habitation where it calls monotonously throughout the 
day. 
44. Pomatostomus temporalis (Grey-crowned Babbler): An 
uncommon species — occasionally heard over the slopes. 
45. Gerygone olivacea (White-throated Warbler): A delightful 
songster, fairily common in the taller trees. 
46. Smicromis brevirostris (Brown Weebill): A common and 
ubiquitous little bird, frequenting alike the tallest trees and 
the low bushes. Specially numerous in the scrub, where 
one may examine the flocks with ease. Call-note resembles 
“we-need-it.” 
47. Acanthiza chrysorrhoa (Yellow-tailed Thornhill.: Mod- 
erately plentiful in open country, more especially that sur- 
rounding Gilchrist Avenue. 
48. Acrocephalus australis (Reed-warbler) : At any time of 
the year this delightful little bird is present in the reed- 
beds on either of the lagoons. In spring, the air is filled 
with its sweet song; it probably breeds then. One patch 
of reeds whicch forms part of the domain of the species 
is barely five yards from Gilchrist Avenue. 
49. Cisticola exilis (Golden-headed Fantail-warbler) : This 
species is the author of the animated rasping call-notes 
heard from the rank grass-lands throughout the year. In 
spring-time, when it calls louder and more often, its cries 
may be heard at some distance. 
50. Malurus lamherti (Variegated Wren): An occasional 
visitor of the lantana patches. 
51. M. melanocephalus (Red-backed Wren).* 
52. Neositta leucocephala (White-headed Sittella) : Sometimes 
seen exploring the stems of the larger trees in the scrub; 
not plentiful. 
53. Panlalotus punctatus (Spotted Pardalote) : Frequents the 
tops of the larger trees, occasionally flying down to the 
saplings. Its sweet call — “sleep-ba-bee” may be heard for 
some distance away. 
54. P. melanocephalus (Black-headed Pardalote): Very com- 
mon. Nesting tunnels of this species are to be seen in most 
ungrassed banks. 
55. Zosterops lateralis (Grey-breasted Silvereye): Abundant 
in both the undergrowth and the tree-tops; nests in spring- 
time. 
56. Melithreplus lunatus (White-naped Honeyeater): Plentiful 
in open forest and the scrub, where its call is often heard. 
Especially numerous in the saplings surrounding the 
Teachers’ College.
