Two of tliese specimens collected in November have white 

 rings round the eyes — they are male and female. 



These birds nest in low bushes or in the comb of a 

 banana bunch. The nest is composed of rootlets and twigs, 

 and lined with fibres. The eggs are a dark reddish-brown 

 or greenish-brown ground-colour, speckled with lighter 

 brown or dark brown. These have been taken in April, 

 May, and June. Young nestlings were procured in May. 

 A bird in the change plumage from first to second, was 

 shot in July ; adult moulting birds in May — these moulted 

 while still with young in the nest-stage.

A pair of these Grey Flycatchers was procured along 

 with their nest and eggs in November. The nest was 

 placed on the top of a stump which was jutting out from 

 the middle of a small stream. It was built of rootlets 

 and moss, and lined with fibres of bark and grass. The 

 stump was moss-covered, so that the nest was very in-
