摘要:

SummaryObservations were made on the breeding—involving a total of eight nests—of the Painted Snipe (Rostratula benghalens is) during the summer of a flood year (1956) in north-western Victoria.Field notes on plumage, breeding- biology, and behaviour are supplemented by published and unpublished information from other sources.The present status of the species is difficult to define; it may be of regular seasonal occurrence in some districts, but quite sporadic and unpredictable in others. For example, the species was not recorded near Melbourne between 1897 and 1951, when some individuals of a small flock remained in the one locality (Altona) between May and September. In the present case, the breeding flock remained in the Keranp district for about 150 days.

摘要:

SummaryIn south-western Australia, size and rump-coloration of the Yellow.RobinEopsaltria australisvary clinally. Size is correlated with the temperature gradient. Rump-coloration appears to be independent of climatic factors and the nature of the habitat.

摘要:

SummaryThe Macquarie Island Rail(Rallus philippensis macqvariensis)was exterminated by introduced predators towards the end of the nineteenth century: only three museum specimens exist. Search among bone deposits in two caves formerly occupied by sealers or castaways hasrevealed onecomplete skull, two nearly complete skulls and one cranium of this subspecies.
