noticed the first arrival on March the 29th at the Acheritou 
reservoir, and from that date until he left the island in June 
procured a number of specimens and plenty of nests and 
eggs in the hills. He took a much incubated clutch of seven 
eggs near Kambos on May the 10th, and found young in a nest 
on the Troodos summit on June the 1st, where the bird was 
very abundant. But he also took fresh eggs as late as the 
12th of May, and on the 9th found a nest with only one egg. 
Some of the eggs are very handsome, and the nests are in 
several instances almost entirely composed of rough cotton 
or woollen refuse or discarded cord and thread. On the 
31st of May Horsbrugh shot a Jay on Troodos which, whilst 
struggling on the ground, was attacked and mobbed viciously 
by four Masked Shrikes.

XXX.— Supplementary List of the Birds of the Alexandra 
District , Northern Territory , S. Australia. By Collingwood 
Ingram, F.Z.S., M.B.O.U. 
In the f Ibis 3 1907 (p. 387) I described a collection of 
birds from Alexandra, a cattle-station in the Northern 
Territory of South Australia. They were all obtained 
by Mr. William Stalker, who consigned the specimens to 
England as soon as they were ready for transit. Of three 
cases so despatched, two arrived safely within the year : 
the third, and last, only reached its destination a few 
months ago ! The birds contained in the last case have been 
carefully examined and named by Mr. Gregory Mathews, 
to whom I am indebted for the following detailed list, which 
I now publish as a supplement to my first paper. Nineteen 
species are thereby added to the birds of Alexandra, making 
a total of a hundred and ten. This may be considered a 
fairly complete list of the birds occurring in the district 
under notice, as Mr. Stalker was occupied for nearly two 
years in making the collection. The nomenclature of the list 
follows that of Mathews* recently published u Handlist ** 
(‘Emu/ vol. vii. Suppl.).
