83. Hylocichla ustulata swainsonii. Olive-backed Thrush. — This 

 is the commonest Thrusli on tlie lower slopes of the mountain, ranging 

 from the base to the upper limits o* th« Ijea^y timber, above which it is 

 replaced bj bicknelli. Although quite, shy, and therefore rarely' seeTi,'fit8 

 beautiful rich song — in my opinion second only to that of the Hermit — ' 

 was heard at frequent intervals during my trips up the mountain, some- 

 times as many as three of the singers being within hearing at once.
