Salaga and Yeji. 



We found this remarkable Kingfisher along the shady belts 

 of trees on the streams. Tt was a shy bird and by no means 

 common, besides being locally distributed. The cry uttered 

 by the male was loud and harsh. Towards evening it was 

 frequently observed to mount high in the air, where it would 

 remain for some time, hovering after the manner of a Kestrel. 

 It breeds in April.
