I recorded this species in my first " List of the Birds of the 

 County of Cumberland " publislied in tlie " Proceedings of the

 second list as l)r E. P. Ramsay believed the small Hock of birds 

 seen b}^ him at " Yasmar," Dobroyde, Ashfield, was escaf)ed 

 cage-birds. Absolute proof of their occurence in a wild state was 

 afforded by Mr. A. F. B. Hull who observed this species at Fresh- 

 water, near Manly, and found nests with young in April, 1906. 

 Previously in 1901, I had noted it in the southern parts of the 

 adjoining County of Northumberland, where I was informed it 

 bred.
