eedingly Kanadanhanhi Miehet Cg Freestyle Vest small bill characteristic of their Joonas Donskoi Tröjor genus, and a beautifully mottled neck and breast, the head and neck being a light brown. The smaller species is very common all over South-eastern Australia, but the larger bird is more rare. Three only were shot during the progress of the Expedition. Their range did not extend beyond 28 degrees.
129. Cygnus Atratus — The Nike Cortez Ultra Moire Black Friday Sale black Swan.
A description of this bird is here unnecessary. I may merely observe Dennis Cholowski Tröjor that the only swan seen on the waters of the interior was a solitary one on Cooper’s Creek. They frequently passed Kanadanhanhi Naiset Cg Thompson Jacket over us at night during our stay at the Depot, coming from and going to the N.W., being more frequently on the wing when the moon was shining bright than at any other time.
