Abstract:
Writer acknowledges receipt of insect boards and pins and explains that difficulties in separating nest specimens from vegetation mean that only some can be sent now with descriptions of the birds and eggs, while others will be brought to Perth at a later
date. Writer also queries a bower bird species - Chlanydodera guttata or Chlanydodera nuchalis - and the location of Bell Bird Oreoica Crustata nests.
