CRINIGER. 355 
Colours of soft parts as in the last. 
Measurements. A rather larger bird than flaveolus ; wing 95 
to 102 mm. 
Distribution. Hills East of the Salwin from Yamethin to 
Moulmein. 
Nidification. Nest and eggs sent me from near Moulmein are 
quite indistinguishable from those of the last bird. They were 
taken in March and May, the nests being placed in low bushes on 
the outskirts of heavy forest. Nine eggs average 25°1 x 18°4min. 
Habits. According to Oates this is more of a tree bird than 
either of the two previous races. Davison also remarks that it 
never descends to the ground as the Indian bird often does but 
otherwise he describes it as being the same energetic, noisy bird 
as that race is. Their song, he writes, is a feeble ‘‘ twee, twee, 
twee.”
