Abstract:
Writer explains that there is no book available on birds and wildflowers, but suggests J.A. Leach's "An Australian bird book" published by Whitcombe and Tombes and forwards a copy of Hall's Key providing short technical explanations of local birds. He
identifies previously described nest as that of the little Acanthiza (Chrysorrhoa) and promises to send insect setting boards and pins. Both nest and moth specimens are welcomed.
