AVIFAUNA OP CHOTA NAGPUK. 405 



110.— Eumyias melanops, Vigors. (301.) 



The Yerditer Flycatcher is not very common in any part 

 of Chota Nagpur. I generally met with it near rivers in 

 little frequented jungles. 



111.— Cyornis Tickellise, Blyth. (305 & 306.) 



Tickell's Blue Redbreast is now generally admitted to be 

 only the female of C. Jerdoni. Recently in the Satpuras I 

 made a point of collecting these birds where they were not 

 uncommon. Two of the Tickellice plumage were certainly 

 females. In half a dozen of the Jerdoni plumage those which 

 were satisfactorily sexed by myself proved to be males. 



It was first enumerated by Colonel Tickell under the name 

 Musci : hyacintha, Temm. He speaks of it as " rare, silent, 

 frequenting high trees." 



The bird is certainly rare in Chota Nagpur. I obtained but 

 two specimens, one in Singhbhum and one in Sirguja. 



112.— Muscicapula superciliaris, Jerdon. (310.) 



The White-browed Blue Flycatcher was obtained by Colonel 

 Tickell in Singhbhum and by myself in Lohardugga. It is, 

 I should say, of extreme rarity in Chota Nagpur. My speci- 

 men is exactly identical with examples from Simla. 



Captain Beavan refers a Flycatcher which he obtained in 

 Manbhum doubtfully to M. sapphira ; it seems probable that it 

 was this species which he met with. 



113.— Erythrosterna allbicilla, Pallas. E. 



leucura, Gmel. (323.) 



The White-tailed Robin Flycatcher is common in Chota Nag- 

 pur, i 



114.— Erytlirosterna parva,* Bechst. (323 bis.) 



I shot several specimens of the Red-breasted Flycatcher in 

 Singhbhum in January 1869. 



Recently I found it not uncommon in the Satpuras. 



115.— Erythrosterna pusilla, Blyth. (324.) 



In February 1869, when in Singhbhum, I shot a specimen of 

 the Rufous-backed Flycatcher which was feeding amongst the 

 leaves of Ficus indica. Recently I had an opportunity of 

 comparing my specimen, which is now in the Indian Museum,
