only entrance was from below up a tube some four or five 

 inches long. There were, unfortunately, no eggs in the nest. 



Later^ on June 16, seeing a pair of these birds apparently 

 nesting, and noticing two old Weavers^ nests near by, I 

 again discovered one with the nest of the Flycatcher within 

 it, but again no eggs. 



On a third occasion, June 28, I discovered two fully 

 fledged young of this species in a very old Weavers' nest 

 which was almost in pieces. 



100. Muscicapa grisola. Fairly common on migration. 



101. Alseonax murina. Not very common. A male in 

 breeding condition was obtained in the middle of May. 



102. Alseonax griseigularis, 



Alseonax griseigularis Jackson, Bull. B. O. C. xix. 1906, 

 p. 19. 



Only one obtained — a male in breeding condition, 

 March 26. This species would appear to be more correctly 

 placed in the genus Muscicapa. 



103. Bias musicus. Not uncommon. A fine songster in 

 the breeding-season, which is from March to May, and at 

 this time it will drive away most birds which approach 

 anywhere near the nest. I have seen them time after time 

 chasing a pair of Orioles, probably Oriolus hrachyrhynchus, 

 which appeared to be thinking of nesting themselves. 



104. Megahias aequatorialis. 



Megabias a(jnatorialis Jackson, Bull. B. 0. C. xv. 1904, 



Not common. A male in breeding condition was ob- 

 tained on April 28. 



Iris blood-red ; feet purplish ; bill black. 



105. Diaphorophyia castanea. Not common. A pair in 

 breeding condition was obtained on April 28. These birds 

 make a sharp clicking with their wings as they flit about. 



106. Platystira cyanea. Fairly common. Nesting on 

 April 25 in the fork of a tree some twelve feet from the
