and are indistinguishable from those of the other breeding 

 Bulbuls. 



The breeding-season is from the latter part of March 

 until the end of August, and at least two broods are brought 

 off. 



Eggs vary in length from '90 to '77 and in breadth fiom 

 '70 to "63, and average '85 x '65. (See Plate V. fig. 13 of 

 the April number.) 



OtoCOMPSA EMERIA. 



The Chinese name " Ko Kai Kwun " means the " high- 

 crested lady." 



This handsome Bulbul is a fairly common resident at 

 Hong Kong, Macao, and on the coast generally, but it 

 becomes less abundant inland. 



Like the other two common species the Red-cheeked 

 Bulbul is partly migratory, and large flocks are obseived in 

 the spring and autumn. Its song is most monotonous, and 

 is repeated with maddening persistency. 



This bird was not observed by Swinhoe in 1860 at Macao 

 or Hong Kong, although he found it plentiful at Canton. 



The nest is much like that of Pi/cnonolus sinensis, and is 

 placed in similar situations, and the eggs are indistinguishable 

 from those of that species. 



The breeding-season is from March until August, and 

 three is the most usual clutch. Eggs vary in length from 

 •92 to -79 and in breadth from "69 to '59, and average '82 

 X -64. (See Plate V. fig. 20 of the April number.) 



Anorthura fumigata. 



This Wren was only once obtained. This was in the forest 

 of Howlik, where it was hopping about on some dead branches 

 near a stream. It had a note somewhat like that of a Grey 

 Wagtail. 



CiNCLUS PALLASI. 



One pair of these Dippers was found to frequent the stream 

 which flows through the forest at Howlik, and they seemed
