282 Mr. Vicors’s and Dr. HonsrrELD's Description of the 
tlement afterwards known by the name of Paramatta. The 
native name of the bird is Bundullock. 
** The natives inform me it always breeds in dead trees, chiefly 
on farms, making its nest with feathers in the body of the hol- 
low tree. To whatever depth the tree may be hollow, the bird 
always descends to the bottom, like an Opossum. Its nest is 
found by watching the old bird ; and sometimes by hearing the 
young ones in the hollow of the tree on passing by. It has six 
young ones ; the eggs are white without spots. 
.* It may frequently be seen in small flocks along with the 
King’s Parrot (Pl. scapulatus) and the Lory (Pl. Pennantii) in 
fields of Indian corn : but I never recollect it taking the corn from 
the stalk like the other two birds, and I suspect it only picks up 
what the others throw to the ground. I have seen the most of 
this species on new-sown wheat early in the morning ; but never 
in large flocks. I do not recollect ever to have seen the King's 
Parrot or Lory pulling up the young wheat like this bird. All 
three species are caught in traps. They are very good eating. 
The King’s and Rosehill Parrots are the most valuable for selling 
to ships to take to England. This latter species (eximius) fre- 
quents Van Diemen's Land. I do not know whether the Lory 
does so, but I remember shooting that species at Western Port, 
on the opposite side of the strait.” .  —

This species, which may perhaps be considered, from the 
extreme delicacy of its colours, as the most beautiful of the 
family,
