In 1883 Mr. George Barnard of Cooinooboolaroo, Dawson 
River, Queensland, obtained a nest of this species in a lofty 
Eucalyptus, locally known as the “Moreton Bay Ash,” the nest 
was about thirty feet from the ground, and was similar to that of 
A. approximans, a large structure composed of sticks, lined inside 
with finer ones and Eucalyptus leaves, and contained two eggs, one 
of which was forwarded to Dr. Ramsay, and described by him in 
the Proceedings of the Linnean Society of N.S.W.* Mr. Barnard 
has since forwarded to me the other egg for description, it is rounded 
in form, and is of a uniform dull bluish-white, but unlike the one 
previously sent, it is entirely free from smears and blotches of 
blackish-brown; length 2'18 inch; breadth P83 inch. 
Mr. Barnard informs me that his sons obtained another nest on 
the 27th of August, 1889, “built on a flat fork of a projecting 
limb of a lofty Eucalyptus citriodora, at least fifty feet from the 
ground, the eggs of which, two in number have a decided bluish 
tinge.” In a subsequent letter Mr. Barnard writes as follows : — 
“ A rather singular occurrence took place about the Radiated 
Goshawk’s nest, when my sous found it there were two eggs in 
it, and one of them shot the male; about a month after being 
up that way again, one of them climbed the tree and found another 
egg in the nest, laid after the first eggs were taken and the male 
bird shot.”
