little. 
The butcher bird (C. cinereus) was 
abroad with its autumn song; occasion¬ 
ally the note of the dusky funtail (It. 
diemenensis) would drift to us over the 
marsh. At sunrise came the call of the 
clow through the tree tops, while in the 
open timber below the scarlet-breasted 
robin might be seen. Away in the hills, 
beyond the Narrows, we found the dusky 
robin (Petrneca vittata). Our fishermen 
brought a white-breasted cormorant into 
camp, and told us that they had seen the 
large sea eagle til. lencogaster) in (lie 
course of their wanderings. These two 
last closed the list of birds that we were 
able to identify with any certainty. 
The few species we did see were suffi¬ 
cient to provide an interest and a pleas¬
