YelloAV wings Avere there, too, but I saw only a few of 
them. 
Other birds noted were mostly in pairs or alone, with 
the exception of swallows, leather heads, blue mountain 
parrots, barred-shouldered doves, sea-gulls, and terns. 
These appeared in small flocks. One wedge-tailed eagle, 
two Avhivstling eagles (seen at different times), and one 
Avhite-bellied sea eagle; several crows, a kookaburra, a 
forest kingfislier, and a sAvamp pheasant Avere noted. 
Also tAvo pairs of rufous Avhistler, sevt'ral Avillie wags, and 
one AAdiite-shafted fantail ; a pair of <piail and several 
mistletoe birds. I shav three times, in different |)laces, a 
bird unknoAvn to me. Tt looked something like the hooded 
robin illustrated in * ‘ Leach, but T eouldnff see any 
white on the wings, and its notes Avere very like a fly 
catcher's. Tt had a habit of Avagging its tail uj) and 
doAvn, not from side to side. Other birds seen by different 
members of the party Avere drongos, bee-eaters, and white- 
shouldered caterpillar-eaters, Avhich brings the total num-
