species, but I only observed about half that number; there are only about half of these again which are in any way common.
Circus (sp.)
Ninox boobook.—Two specimens only noted.
Corone australis.—Common.
Grallina picata.—Rather uncommon.
Collyriocincla rufiventris.— Very local.
Graucalus melanops.—Abundant round Guildford during the latter part of 1902; scarce in 1903.
Petrœca campbelli.—Fairly common.
Smicrornis brevirostris.—Seen in parts.
Pseudogerygone culicivora.—Extremely abundant; can be heard anywhere throughout the district at all times.
Malurus splendens.—Common; clutch usually two eggs.
Rhipidura preissi—Common; 6/9/03, nests just started, few straws only in place; 9/9/03, nest complete; 19/10/03, nest just begun. I am unable to see the difference between R. preissi and R. albiscapa of Eastern Australia.
Rhipidura tricolor.—Very common and tame, except during the winter; sings day and night throughout the year.
Sisura inquieta.—Have seen a single bird only.
Acrocephalus longirostris.—Not to be seen during the winter; appears in spring, and makes its nest in the first week in December; eggs not often to be found before the tenth of the month. Will desert the nest if it has been touched. A much quieter bird than A. australis.
Acanthiza inornata, A. apicalis, A. pyrrhopygia, A. chrysorrhoa.—All fairly common where there is any timber. A. chrysorrhoa perhaps the most frequently seen.
Ephthianura albifrons.—Seems to move about a good deal; in 1902 I did not see a single individual, but it was pretty common in February and March, 1903; have not seen it since.
Gymnorhina dorsalis.—Not in very great numbers.—5/8/02.—Nest started. 28/9/02.—Nest noticed on 5th August, now has young birds. 18/10/02.—Birds just ready to fly. 28/10/02.—Same pair of old birds have started a fresh nest. 15/12/02.—New clutch reared, young just flying. 5/8/03.—Nest half finished in next tree to the one mentioned above in August, 1902. 10/9/03.—This nest now has three eggs. 14/10/03.—Nice young birds, can just fly.
Cracticus destructor (leucopterus).
Eopsaltria georgiana.—Observed on one occasion only.
Pachycephala rufiventris.—Very common wherever the trees grow at all thickly, but oftener heard than seen.
Climacteris rufa.—Observed on one occasion only.
Sittella pileata.—In one or two parts of the district.
Acanthorhynchus superciliosus.—Very common everywhere.
Zosterops gouldi.—Another very common bird; known locally as the "Greenie."
