Gould, Ilandbk. Bds. Aust., Vol. i., sp. 127, p. 225. 
The mode of nidification of the Little Thrush is similar to that 
of the preceding species. Eggs of this bird in the Dobroyde 
Collection, taken at Port Darwin, are nearly oval in form, pearly- 
white, spotted and blotched with olive-bi'own, blackish-brown, and 
obsolete bluish-grey markings, which predominate towards the 
thicker end. Length (A) 1-05 x 0-75 inch; (B) 1-03x0-72 inch. 
Hab. Port Darwin and Port Essington. (Ramsay,) 
COLLYRIOCIN CL A BRUNNEA, Gould. 
Brown Thrush. 
Gould, Ilandbk. Bds. Aust., Vol. i., sp. 125, p. 223. 
The nest of this species is similarly constructed to that of other 
members of the genus, being composed outwardly of bark, and 
lined internally with twigs and grasses, and usually placed in the 
hollow top of a high stump. Eggs three in number for a sitting, 
pearly-white, spotted and blotched with olive-brown markings, 
intermingled with superimposed spots of bluish-grey which become 
confluent towards the larger end, where they form a well defined 
zone. An average specimen taken by the late Mr. T. II. Boyer- 
Bowor at Derby, North-western Australia, in October, 188G, 
measures 1T8 inch long diameter, by 0-77 inch short diameter.
