THE BIRDS OF AUSTRALIA, 
birds are on the wing, they gather in flocks, preparatory to the bulk of the 
birds migrating. In November, 1910, I saw a flock of well over one hundred 
birds feeding round a stock tank here for several days. September 15/1910, 
saw young in down, about a fortnight old. October 23 /1910, saw young in 
down only a few days old.” 
The bird figured and described is the type, and was collected at Broome 
Hill, South-west Australia, on Maj^ 30th, 1908. It is named in honour of Miss 
Gwendolene Carter, daughter of Mr. Tom Carter.
