[The food of some of these specimens had been insects, 

 and of others, palm-nuts, i. e. the oily tibrous husk. All of 

 those obtained in June 1901 were trapped by natives under 

 palm-trees, where they come to feed on the nuts. 



The curious felt-like nests, like those of the Penduliue Tit, 

 sometimes found suspended from boughs, are said by all tlie 

 natives to be nests of this bird or of Nigrita bicolor. —
