HORN EXPEDITION-AVES. 
[These birds invariably attract attention wherever met with. They are 
extremely sociable, and not only are two or three nests found on one tree, but 
there is strong evidence that two pairs of birds sometimes share the same nest. 
At Ilenbui’y three birds were seen carrying wool from an old sheejiskin to a nest, 
whilst a fourth bird was inside arranging the material brought. It is very 
amusing to watch their peculiarly-laboured flight and curious antics as they jump 
from branch to branch. Their habit of mewing like a cat has gained for them the 
local cognomen of “ cat-birds.”]
