" Only one specimen of this species was obtained, and that was 

 killed while perched upon some brushwood growing near the edge 

 of a small stream to the northward of Kurrichain. In its habits it 

 resembles the species already described ; and at the time it was shot 

 it was moving quickly about among the branches, apparently in quest 

 of its food, which was found to consist of insects." Dr. A. Smith, 

 loc. cit.

Dr. Smith (loc. cit.) first discovered this species upon the grassy 

 plains lying between Latakoo and Kurrichain, feeding on the ground. 

 It does not seem to affect bushes, dwelling only amongst the long 

 grass. 



Mr. Atmore found this species at Traka. He forwarded a couple 

 of eggs, which are of a light verditer, unevenly blotched and spotted 

 with dark and light dry-blood-coloured spots, and streaked at the 

 obtuse end with delicate wavy brown lines : axis, 7"' ; diam., 5'".
