246 WOLSTENHOEME — Birds of Camp-Out r Ths Emu 
Seisura inquieta. Restless Flycatcher. — One pair noted in the 
grounds at Gracemere. 
Myiagra rubecula. Leaden Flycatcher. — Pairs were observed in 
many places. 
Mcnareha trivirgata. Spectacled Flycatcher. — This prettily- 
coloured flycatcher v/as first seen near Olsen’s Caves and was often 
seen in the scrubs at Byfield, where it was quite the most plentiful 
bird of the genus. Some of their prettily decorated mossy nests were 
found, situated low in the fork of the upright stem of a small bush or 
tree. (For photograph of a nest see Emu XVII., plate G.) A nest 
found by Mr. Chisholm contained young birds; another nearly com¬ 
pleted nest was seen with the bird at work on it. 
Monarcha lepcotis. White-eared Flycatcher.—This rather rare 
bird was seen a few times. Messrs. Alexander, Chenery and H. G. 
Barnard saw several in the scrub near Olsen’s Caves, and Mr. Chis¬ 
holm saw a parent bird feeding young at Byfield. 
Monarcha melanopsis. Black-faced Flycatcher.—Not often seen. 
Jerrard reported seeing one at Rockhampton. Its unmistakable 
DC i/° U witchoo” calls were heard in the scrub at Olsen’s Caves and 
Byfield, and at least one was seen in the scrub near the beach at Yep- 
poon. 
Microeca fascinans. Jacky Winter (Brown Flycatcher).— A few 
pairs only were seen—here and there—where there was timber and 
open country. 
Eopsaltria australis. Yellow Robin. — These birds were seen in 
localities > and nests found. Near the camp and creek at By- 
held there was a family of young birds lately out of the nest. In 
habits and notes the birds seemed absolutely the same as the typical 
form found near Sydney, nor could any of the members see' any 
difference in coloration. No doubt the birds in this district belong 
to the race named E. coomooboolaroo, the type locality of which is 
the station of that name on the Dawson River. The resemblance to 
the typical form is remarkable considering that both further north 
and further south the birds have much brighter yellow colouring on 
the rump and have been named E. chrysorrhous and E. magnirostris 
respectively. 
Pachycephala rufiventris. Rufous Whistler.—This fine songster 
was very often heard (less often seen) in most of the places visited. 
No Golden Whistler (I\ pectoralis) was reported at all, though we 
were frequently in places of the kind where the bird would almost 
certainly be found in Southern Queensland or New South Wales. 
Cdluricincla harmonica. Grey Shrike-thrush.— We saw a few of 
these birds in the more open bush, not in the scrub. 
CoUuricinda megarhyncha. Rufous Shrike-thrush.—This smaller 
thiush the thrush of the dense scrubs, being very plen¬ 
tiful at Yeppoon, where in the scrub belt bordered by the 
load and the mangrove swamps their sweet and clear “Wot 
wot notes were continually heard. They were also seen 
m the scrubs at Fairy Bower, Olsen’s Caves and By field, 
rp, Y e PPo<m two nests were found low in lanky thin bushes. 
I he nest is smaller than that of the Grey Thrush, and being placed in 
a position that gives little or no support to its sides, it has to be made 
more compact than that of the larger bird. Each nest contained 
three eggs, marked like the Grey Thrush’s eggs, but smaller. 
Grallina cyanolcuca. Magpie-Lark.—Seen nearly everywhere, and 
nesting. In this district it is universally called “Peewee” or “Pee- 
Falcunculus frontatus. Eastern Shrike-tit.—Only one bird was met 
vwth. It was heard by Mr. Chisholm and then seen as we returned 
from Polka Creek. 
Graucalus nov:e-hollandi;e. Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike.—Plentiful. 
I here was a nest near the camp at Byfield Creek.
