not to shoot any more small Nuthatches, because he brought

9. Megalurus palustris, Horsf. 



10. Pericrocotus fraterculuSj Swinh. 



The young Minivets were just obtaining their adult 

 plumage, and adult birds of all the species were scarce. I 

 got one curious specimen of P. speciosus with a great deal of 

 red on one side and pure yellow on the other. 



11. Campophaga melanoptera (Riipp.). 



12. OrTOLUS TRAILLI (Vig.) . 



One specimen obtained. 0. tenuirostris was the common 

 Oriole and was very plentiful. It was one of the birds 

 which, later on, I ordered my man not to shoot.

Brought in by my collector. I did not myself see it. 



14. Cyornis melanoleucus (Hodgs.). 



15. Cyornis unicolor, Blyth.

 to do so.

 Common. 



19. Merula protomel^na (Cab.). 



I obtained one female and one nearly full-grown young
