And the <i>Regent-bird</i> (q.v.).

1845. R. Howitt, `Australia,' p. 140:

"The same person had the last season found, to his surprise,
the playhouse, or bower, of the Australian satin bower-bird."

1888. D. Macdonald, `Gum Boughs,' p. 28:

"Any shred of glass or metal which arrests the eye or reflects
the rays of the sun is a gem in the bower-bird's collection,
which seems in a sense to parody the art decorations of a
modern home."

1891. `Guide to Zoological Gardens, Melbourne':

"In one is a representation of the playing place of the spotted
bowerbird. These bowers are quite independent of the birds'
nests, which are built on neighbouring trees. They first
construct a covered passage or bower about three feet long, and
near it they place every white or bright object they can find,
such as the bleached bones of animals, pieces of white or
coloured stone, feathers, shells, etc., etc.; the feathers they
place on end. When these curious playing places were first
discovered, they were thought to be made by the native women
for the amusement of their children. More than a bushel of
small pieces of bleached bones or shells are often found at one
of these curious sporting places. Sometimes a dozen or more
birds will assemble, and they delight in chasing each other
through the bower and playing about it."

<i>n</i>. The name is applied to many <i>Eucalypts</i>, and to
a few trees of the genus <i>Tristania</i>, as given below, all
of the <i>N.O. Myrtaceae</i>, chiefly from the qualities of
their timber, which more or less resembles "Boxwood." Most of
these trees also bear other vernacular names, and the same tree
is further often described vernacularly as different kinds of
<i>Box. China-, Heath</i>-, and <i>Native-Box</i> (q.v. below)
are of other Natural Orders and receive their names of
<i>Box</i> from other reasons. The following table is compiled
from Maiden:--
