130 LITTLE XICOBAR AND PULO MILO 



Before we left, a number of men from Great Nicobar 

 arrived in a large canoe : they were proceeding to Nankauri 

 on one of the expeditions undertaken by the Nicobarese when 

 they desire to obtain the pottery manufactured only by the 

 women of Chaura. 



We weighed anchor at sunrise on March 4th, having added 

 a pitta, an owl, and the Rhinomyias — all new species — to the 

 avifauna of the islands during a most satisfactory visit of seven 

 days.
