Kacliin name. — Chee-chaw (only.) 



Fairly common in the hills, and is a most amusing little bird, continually rai- 

 sing its crest as it hunts among the leaves for insects. I only found one nest of 

 this bird, whilst watching a nest of D. cinnamomens. It contained two young 

 birds and was pendant, and as far as I could judge, made entirely of moss. I 

 had others brought in by Kachins.

 in the fork of a small tree.
