This species was not found plentiful, its habits and actions 

 resemble those of the Australian species. Mr. Masters informs 

 me they traverse the woods in small troops, and frequent the 

 more open parts, and being always on the move are not easily 

 obtained.

 Gould, Bds. Aust. fol. vol. II. pi. 91.
