,A t liable that had we done any marine work 
other species would have been noted, 
as in previous years when carrying out 
dredgni" operations, we have noted a 
larger number of sea birds than we were 
enabled to do this year. 
The homely robins (P loggi and P. 
pheenieea) were always to be seen hop¬ 
ping round the camp. A little further 
afield the dusky robin (A. viltata) was 
noted, and. although the gullies at the 
bad; of the camp seemed ideal ground 
for the pink-breasted (E. rodinoguster), 
the writer failed to observe any speci¬ 
mens of this beautiful bird. 
The grey-tailed whistler (P. glaeura) 
was seen, and in close proximity the fan- 
tail (R. diemenensis) flitted from bough 
to bough. Of the Acanthiza, both the 
yellow tail (A. chrysorrhoa) and brown 
tail (A. diemenensis) were common, while 
the brown scrub wren (S. humilis) was 
seen also. The blue wren (M. longieaudus) 
was a common sight in the clearings, 
while from the trees and scrubs the 
liquid notes of the lioneyenters were to 
be heard. Of the latter the black cap 
(Al. melanocephalus), yellow throat (P. 
flavigula), crescent (I,, a ust valasiana), 
and New Holland (Al. nova.'-hollnudiae) 
species appeared to be the commonest 
forms. The iuven or "crow'* (C. aus¬ 
tralis) was oft n seen, and in lesser num¬ 
bers the magpie (G. organicum). Among 
our last remembrances of the camp is 
the pleasure we derived from heating the 
musical notes of the whistling shrike 
thrush (('. selbii), This firm songster 
was heard to perfection on the morning 
of our departure.
