In part 2 Mr. D. Le Souef has an article on new or rare 
eggs belonging to thirteen Australian species, and Mr. T. 
Carter a note on the discovery of Calamanthus montanellus. 
Mr. A. H. Mattingley commences an article on the Mallee 
Fowl ( Lipoa ocellata), which is continued in part 3. It is 
many years since we read so good a description of the nesting- 
habits of this bird, and the present account is exceptionally 
full and well illustrated. The great irregularity in the depo¬ 
sition of the eggs seems to be quite a new point. Mr. E. M. 
Cornwall follows with the second part of his Notes referring 
to Mackay, N. Queensland; and in part 4 Mr. F. L. Whit¬ 
lock writes on the birds observed on the Pilbarra Goldfield, 
N.W. Australia. 
Other papers are by Mr. Gibson (Abrolhos Islands) ; 
Dove (Essenden, Victoria) ; Stead (Black Cormorant in 
New Zealand) ; Cole (Cormorants in Victoria) ; Hill (Mon¬ 
tague Island) ; Howe (N.W. Victoria); and Miss Fletcher 
(Cleveland, Tasmania). Mr. A. G. Campbell writes a 
monograph on the Flame-breasted Robin, and Mr. R. Hall 
gives notes on the migration of Cypsetus pacificus. 
There are a considerable number of illustrations in these 
three parts, and a graphic narrative is furnished by Capt. S. A. 
White of the A. O. U. Expedition to the islands of Bass Straits, 
while Mr. A. J. Campbell describes the simultaneous “ camp- 
out” on Philip Island. 
A sketch of a great forward movement in Bird-Protection 
is given in part 2, with which may be coupled the “ Minutes 
of Conference of State Government Representatives on 
Bird-Protection ” that follow in part 4.
