[The " edumvin " is a quiet little bird ; its voice I have 

 never heard. But I have often caught glimpses of it, flitting 

 about in the dense bushes near the ground, in the cleared 

 land and at the edge o£ the forest, though never in the depths, 

 where probably the seeds on which it feeds do not grow. 



A nest said to be that of this bird was shown me in 

 November, and two young ones in it appeared to belong to 

 this species. The nest was placed in the forking twigs of a 

 bush. It was large and jug-shaped, opening at the top ; it 

 was made of dry leaves. — G. L. B.]
