“ The Scaly-breasted Lorikeet Is plentifully dispersed over the 
greater part of Queensland and the northern portion of New 
South Wales, but is seldom found farther south than the Murray 
River, the natural boundary of the latter colony. Mr. George 
Barnard of Coomooboolaroo, who has contributed largely towards 
a knowledge of the nidification of many of the birds of Central 
Queensland, informs me that he found this species breeding in the 
hollow spouts of the lofty Eucalypts in the neighbourhood of the 
Dawson River, and that all the nests, seven in number, taken by 
his sons, unlike those of any other member of the family, 
each contained but a single egg, which in several instances was in a 
very advanced state of incubation. Two eggs taken during the 
month of November are pure white, in form oval, slightly tapering 
at one end, the texture of the shell being fine and smooth, but 
without any lustre. Length (A) 0'95 x0'79 inch ; (B) 097 x 0'8 
inch.” (North. .P.L.S., H.S.W., Vol. ii., 2nd Series, p. 986.)
