THE BIRDS OF THE LUCKNOW CIVIL DIVISION. 39 
436.—Argya malcolmi, Sykes. Native name.— Bhaina. 
Since the first part of this paper was published, and long 
after this part was in type, I met with this species, the Large 
Grey Babbler, for the first time in this Division in the dhak 
jungles in the neighbourhood of the Rahimabad Railway. 
Station, where, on this occasion, I found them common. During 
the day I spent there I must have seen some seven or eight 
different parties of from five to ten individuals in each. 
Though I have explored these jungles before, times without 
number, I have never previously noticed this species. I could 
hardly have passed them over as ¢erricolor, for malcolmi is a 
larger bird and recognizable at a glance when flying by the 
whitish color of the lateral tail feathers. Still this seems 
more likely than that this species should now, for the first time 
during several years, have made its appearance here. Anyhow 
it must be very locally distributed in the Division, and it is 
certainly not found in the vicinity of Lucknow. The addition 
of this species brings my total number up to 414 (wde p. 501, 
Vol. TX.) 
438.—Chatarrhea caudata, Dum. 
The Striated Bush-Babbler is a common and _ permanent 
resident, very abundant in dhak and thorn jungle; less so in 
patches of thatching grass, which it also frequents, and is seen, 
though not habitually, in hedgerows and about gardens, and is 
not uncommon in the large, grass-hedged, guava groves about 
Lucknow. 
It breeds from April to August, making its nest usually in 
thick bushes, especially in dhak jungles in the wild corounda. 
The following is a record of its nests and the dates on which 
I found them :—
