 but I am sorry to say my notes got lost with a consignment of 

 birdskins forwarded to Europe.

 Ju^rllaubi were found b\^ me in September, gathering in large

Coliidse 



164. Coliiis leucotis affinis, Shell. Moshi, IV., XII., XIII. 



At starting colies fly in a buzzing manner, flapping their wings 

 frequently ; they sail afterwards quickly along with extended 

 wings, without any movements or strokes , but before perching 

 on a shrub, they flap their wings again \\\ a violent manner. 

 They hide themselves in bushes or shrubs which are ov'ergrown 

 with creepers.
