error, for the only nest that I found, contained young; these f 
took and am trying to rear them, one died, the other thrce are 
still alive and doing “well, 
The snaps of the nesting trec and of the young came 
out fairly well: I have not taken any prints of them yet as all 
the F. O. P, that I brought up, was spoiled by the heat and the 
fresh supply that I sent for is only just to hand, I will send 
them along next mail, 
On going through my Cape York field notes which by 
the way, are very brief; I cannot find any record of having sent 
down a skin of" ptt Linopus"ewings "for identification. I am quite 
satisfied though that the bird occurs there. 
In your letter of December th, you state that the 
skin of"Eempelia"that I sent down, is really", ilaviventris." I 
am quite certain that it is "Kempelia", The mein points of dif. 
ference in the skins of the species in question, being the col- 
oration of the bill and legs, -"Kempelia" lower mandible, creamy 
yellow; legs yellow ochre tinged brown «= io ipilavivent Lg" lower 
mandible, MT half whitish, rest dark brown or black; legs, 
brownish black.- In life Kempelía is a much slimmer bird, its 
call or song is a very faint twittering whistle, and it lives 
in the dense Scrubs, The song of M,flaviventris is loud, sweet, 
and varied and I have never seen it in the gerubs, If I can 
get any more skins of it I will send them along to you 
Yours Sincerely
