[All along the route these beautiful birds were found at the waterholes 
morning and evening, but during the day they scattered through the forests and 
scrub. At Goyder’s Well they came in numbers soon after sunrise, and alighting 
about one hundred yaixls from the water, congregated on a small hillock for a few 
minutes to plume their feathers, and then marched in procession down to drink. 
In the flocks very young birds were often present, and also females containing 
eggs in the oviduct, thus showing their sociable habits during breeding time. 
At Lawrie’s Creek I saw Phaps chalcoptera^ Ocyphaps lophotes, and Lophophaps 
leucogaster all on the ground together within fifty yards of where I stood.]
