Two uests, like that already described, were brought 

 to me, each with the old bird (Nos. 403G & 4450) and a 

 single uestling. Both uestlings liad the inside of the mouth 

 orange, and the tongue had a pair of black spots at the 

 base (text-fig. 19, D, p. 614). 



I myself found another nest, and saw the little Crombec 

 enter and sit in its tiny hammock, seeing it plainly enough 

 to be pretty sure that it belonged to this species. This 

 nest was hung on a prickly bramble-like stem that extended 

 horizontally over a little cleared space in the ekotuk ; it was

 The Wood-Wren, P. sibllatrix, already reported, has been

The occurrence of this specimen, which was caught in a 

 snare, extends the range of the species further east. 



Bathmedoxia rufa.

Though rather rare, this is a bird of bikotok and not of 

 the forest. 



In its lively motions and manner of cocking its tail 

 forward over its back, it reminded me of Cisticcla and 

 Prinia ; and I think, for this and for other reasons, that the 

 natural place of the species is close to those genera. 



Both males and females have the iris brown, the feet
