THE INDIAN GREY TIT (Varus atriceps).


“ There is only one Tit here, the Indian Grey Tit (Parus cinereus ),

a conspicuously marked bird, which bears a certain superficial

resemblance to the Great Tit so well known in England. The bird

is resident, and rears two broods in the year, commencing to breed as

early as the first half of March.”—Surgeon-Commander K. H. Jones

in Twentieth Century Impressions of Hong Kong.
