Observed only at Brewarriiia, although fairly well dis- 

 tributed, being noted even in the town, it was nowhere 

 common. That it had been breeding was evident by my see- 

 ing, amongst others, fully fledged young, being fed by their 

 parents, in the Chinaniens' garden, near the bridge over the
