          Off at sunrise with Hutton taking the trace over
                     the long ridge to the westward for convenience of
                     reference I will christen this the "Frozen Trace" even
                     their birds are particularly numerous then Mr                    
                     came upon a band of at least fifteen of the
                     beautiful creatures this morning. Some of them were
                     feeding, posing before clusters of small dark berries
                     for an instance then rising out and breaking it
                     off by simple dropping and flying away. Others
                     sat high up in the trees, erect & still, calling
                     Still others were chasing one another to & fro away
                     the [?] sometimes discarding and pinching more
                     the ground flirting their tails slowly. They were all
                     of one species - the kind that has the cuckoo voice
                     I shot them but one in falling struck a branch
                     and lost all of the feathers on one side of the
                     breast. Dissection of the three specimens that I
                     have skinned thus far has shown that they
                     will not nest for at least six or eight weeks.

                            On reaching the cupey tree we found it simply akin                                                
                     with Creepers. They were so high above the earth that it                                         
                     was impossible to distinguish colours but shooting quite                                           
                     at random I got three specimens of the red-legged
                     blue species, two of the yellow-legged and two of
                    the green [underlined] Chlorophamus spira [/underlined] The last I had not
                    killed before.

                    or fifteen of these birds came into the cupey tree
                    just after I had killed the first Creeper. They flitted
