In Tasmania this bird takes the place of C. harmonica, of the 
Australian Continent, and in its mode of nidification, and the 
number and colour of its eggs, it is so precisely similar to that species 
that a second description is hardly required. The eggs vary in 
form from an oval to a lengthened oval, and are of a pearly-white, 
spotted and blotched with chestnut-brown, blackish-brown, and 
bluish-grey, the latter colour appearing as if beneath the surface 
of the shell. Length (A) P2 x 0.86 inch; (B) 1T8 x 0'84 inch; 
(C) 1-21 x 0-87 inch. 
Five eggs of this bird in the Collection of Dr. J. C. Cox, give the

x 0'85 ; (C) 1'25 x 0-9 inch; (D) 1T4 x 0'87 inch; (E) 1.15 x 
0-85 inch.
