SUMMARYDaviks. S. J. J. F. 1972. Results of 40 hours' continuous watch at five waterpoints in an Australian desert. Emu 72: 8–12.Continuous observations made over 40 hours at five watering points in an arid area of Western Australia showed that 24 species drank, even though the weather was cool. Thirteen of these species visited the water on more than ten occasions.Maximum numbers of Emus, Zebra Finches and Spotted Bowerbirds were seen in the middle of the day. Maximum numbers of Galahs and Common Bronzewings drank in the evening, whereas maximum numbers of Crested Pigeons, Port Lincoln Parrots, Mulga Parrots and Bourke's Parrots drank in the early morning. All these species also drank throughout the day in smaller numbers, but Yellow-throated Miners only came to the water during the morning.The abundance of each of these thirteen species was assessed from the maximum number seen at each bore, and the number obtained agreed well with the general observations in the area. The Emu and Bourke's Parrot were rare at that bore where human activity was greatest, whereas the Crested Pigeon and Zebra Finch were most abundant at it. Observations on the drinking pattern of the Red Kangaroo are included for comparison.

SUMMARYMoroney, D. 1972. Plumage changes in the Superb Lyrebird. Emu 72; 17–21.Young Lyrebirds closely resemble females except for patches of rufous on the frons and throat. The rufous frons disappears in the second year and the rufous throat-patch gradually fades at three to four years of age. Head and neck are moulted in the autumn. The tail is moulted in the spring, The plain feathers of the male's tail gradually change from the age of two until all sixteen tail feathers are fully mature in their fifth, sixth or seventh year of age. The pattern of change varies with individuals. The three types of feathers in tails of young, immature and mature birds are briefly described. Variations in development of the tail are discussed. Abnormalities of feathers during the period of change are mentioned.
