Invertebrate Taxonomy and Ecology

This paper, founded on observations made during a residence of six months on the Upper Fitzroy River, the Berserker Mountains, at Springsuiv, and Barcaldine, enumerates upwards of 200 species of birds, the regional distribution in the Central districts of each of which is given -that is, as far as can be deduced from its occurrence in one or more of the localities mentioned, as points at which observations were made.The time of the year in which birds of migratory habits were met with is also especially dwelt upon, as well as any novel facts relating to the habits of the rarer species.Eaoles -Aquila audax, Lath.The Wedge-tailed Eagle ; nowhere uncommon.I saw a nest with eggs on the Berserkers in July, and killed a nearly fledged bird at Springsure during the first week in October.Aquila morphnoides, Gld.The Little Eagle.I wounded one of these rather uncommon Eagles at Black Gin Creek during June, having surprised it whilst feeding.
