. Nests and eggs of birds found breeding in Australia and Tasmania . livray informs me that in the Broken Hill District, in South-western New SouthWales, it is common along all the creeks, and is ruthlessly shot by local pot-hunters wheneverseen. From Cobborah Station, Cobbora, New South Wales, Mr. Thos. P. Austin sent me thefollowing notes:— Although I have never known the Crested Bronze-wing (Ocypliaps lophotes) tovisit here, they are very plentiful seventy miles west. I have seen very large flocks of themnear Narromine. When flushed they make a peculiar whistling noise with their wings, andusually settle upon a dead tree. I know of no bird for its size which is so difficult to kill byshooting. I once saw two men fire two shots each into a very large flock of them in a deadtree ; a few feathers fluttered to the ground, but all the Pigeons flew away. They have a greatobjection to anyone going near their nests; if disturbed or even flushed from the nest whenbuilding, or when they have only just laid the first egg, the birds upon their return push the. CRESTED BltONZE-WlNG. 148 PERISTERID^, . egK out and pull the nest to pieces. I have seen their nests from ei;;hteen inches to thirty feetfrom the f, round. Mr. Robt. Grant has handed me the following note :— The Crested Bronze-wing (Ocyphapslop/ioks) is very numerous in almost every part of the interior of New South Wales I havevisited. When at Buckiinguy Station, near Nyngan, in company with Mr. S. Iobinson, wefound it breeding, the nest being a frad structure formed of sticks and twigs, eight or tenfeet from the ground. Frequently the nests were built in saplings, with a vine or mistletoegrowing on them ; some of the nests were dillicult to see, as they were placed in the thickestfoliage. Two eggs are laid ior a sitting. From Marrickville, near Sydney, Mr. Percy Peir wrote :— The Crested I-Jronze-wing(Oi-yplmps liphotcs) is the easiest of all the Australian Pigeons to breed, and pairs 1 have hadbred right throu
