152 DESTRUCTIVE INSECTS OF VICTORIA: 



protected. Unfortunately, the slow movements of these 

 birds, and the ease with which their nests are found, render 

 both birds and eggs an easy prey to the egg collector and 

 the small boy alike. It is to be hoped, if only for the sake 

 of the growers, that this bird will be rigorously protected, 

 more especially in the mountainous districts. It holds the 

 palm for general usefulness, and as a destroyer of noxious 

 insects of all kinds. 



The Yellow Eobin is found also in New South Wales, 

 South Australia, and South Queensland.
