acre paddock in a zig-zag fashion. At last we saw a Wanderer running like a 
rat through the grass. On several other occasions I have known them to ‘ lie 
close ’ when ‘ set ’ by the dog, and continue in that position until caught.” 
“ Early in March of this year (1900) Mr. Dixon caught an adult male and a 
half-grown young one. In June Mr. Coles took an egg from a bird he was 
skinning, but a clutch of eggs in the possession of a friend was taken in 
November.” 
Of the birds figured and described, the female was given me by Mr. Edwin 
Ashby, of Adelaide, who collected it at Dry Creek, South Austraha, on May 2nd, 
1904. The immature bird was collected in April, 1898, in Victoria.
