The Red-shouldered Cuckoo-Shrike was seen in the open 

 forest and thick plantations. A nest with two eggs was 

 taken in April. The nest reminded one of that of the 

 Chaffinch ; it was well covered with lichen. The eggs 

 were creamy-green with purply spots and blotches. A 

 young male in moult was shot in November. 



One adult male has the red of the shoulder-patch ex- 

 tending to the tips of the secondary-coverts, thus the red 

 area is double the normal size. The primary-coverts are 

 also red.
