* This species," says Mr. Caley, “is called by the natives 
Dulang’ and Julang’. Like the King's Parrot (PI. scapulatus), 
it is found in large flocks among the ripe Indian corn, both 
species being intermixed. It varies much in colour: but as the 
greater part of the flock is of the colour of the female, it may 
almost be taken for granted that they are young birds.—The 
natives tell me it makes its nest chiefly in the Peppermint-tree 
Eucalyptus piperita), always in the body, but never in the 
boughs. Sometimes it enlarges the hole through which it 
enters. Year after year the same place is frequented for the 
purposes of incubation. It makes no nest but from the decayed 
parts of the tree. It has four young ones. The eggs are white. 
“ I have met with this bird in November in the most moun- 
tainous parts of the country: but I apprehend it leaves these 
parts in the winter."
