Mr. Caley marks the two birds described above as male and 

 female of the same species, and we have accordingly given them 

 as such. " The earliest period of the year/' he remarks in his 

 Notes, " at which I have met with this species at Paramatta, 

 was September (ith, 1803. I have missed it in January. It 

 may be frequently heard and seen on the tops of dead trees on 

 the skirts of the woods, and such as have been left standing on 

 the cleared ground."
