spotted with reddish brown mingled with pale purplish "blue 

 underlying spots. In some of the specimens there is a dis- 

 position towards a zone of spots near the thicker end, where 

 the markings are larger and more distinct.

No. 119. Genteng, April 26, 1879. Nestling taken from 

 the nest. 



The nestling reproduces the colouring of the adult, but has 

 the under tail-coverts only faintly tinged with yellow. The 

 general coloration is everywhere paler, the upper surface more 

 uniform, and the cap of not such a deep black. 



The nest, though cup-shaped, like that of P. analis, is 

 better constructed and more neatly woven. As with the 

 last-named species, it is composed of slender twigs, with dead 

 leaves interwoven to form a more solid base, and it is lined 

 with cocoanut-fibre. 



The eggs are similar in character to those of P. analis, 

 being creamy white with large red spots and underlying 

 pale-grey markings ; but the spots are decidedly larger than 

 in the eggs of the latter species.
