 Minute insects (Dipterous) found in the stomach. Birds remark- 

 ably shy, and only met with in the dense woods of the Ghauts. 

 The note of the malė is hoot, u^koot, iohoot, uttered slowly : the 

 female answers hooe. The tongue and habits of this bird are 

 those of a Thrush or Timalia. I have dedicated this species 

 to a gentleman to whom science is deeply indebted.
