This Blackbird is confined to the 1: calities where the 

 Giant Cypress {Junrperus procera) grows, the berries of 

 which provide its chief food. On the north face of Wagga 

 Mountain, which is covered with a forest of these grand 

 trees, the song of M. lucLvicia may be heard in all directions 

 in the early morning. To the westward, at Darra Ass, some 

 40 miles distant, is another such forest, where I obtained 

 the first recorded specimens.
