her, but when we skinned her, we found two marks just above the fetlock joint 

 of her fore feet which looked very much like those left by the poison fangs 

 of a cobra. It got dark before we had time to examine her internal organs to 

 see whether they were all right, and before next morning jackals or something 

 of the kind had finished off what was left of her. While we were skinning the 

 dead animal the living one slipped away.

here appears to be 



No. 73. — Necklaced Laughing Thrush — (Garrulax moniliger) which is scaice. 

 I found numerous nests during May 1907 : they are placed usually in low 

 bushes, often wild raspberry bushes are chosen, near the ground as a rule, and 

 there is little attempt at concealment. The nests are rather untidy, made of 

 coarse grass and roots, and occasionally small twigs, and lined with finer leaf 

 stalks and roots. The normal clutch appears to be three and the eggs vary 

 from pale blue to pure white, the blue eggs being much less common than the 

 white ones. 



No. 228. — Swinhoe's White-eye — (Zosterops simplex). — I found three nests of 

 this little bird, two during May and one in July 1907 at Maymyo. The first 

 two contained two, and the last one three, eggs. The first one found was 

 practically inaccessible, and the egg got broken ; the other two were in low 

 bushes. 



No. 958. — Northern Pale-headed Woodpecker — (Geclnulus granlia). — A nest, 

 containing three fresh eggs, was taken from a hole in a small hollow tree on 

 21st March 1907. The nest hole was only about 3 feet from the ground : 

 elevation 2,500 feet, Upper Chindwin.
