Ixuasits barren Tracts near Sydney and Par- 
ramatta. They go in large Flocks in Autumn, 
and in Spring separate into Pairs, and build in 
low Bushes an oval-shaped Nest of dead Grass, 
lined with Down of Sowthistle: lay five or six 
Eggs of a pale flesh Coiour, spotted with dull 
Red.—The Mate has a pleasant Song. Are 
subject to Fits.
