197.—Xantholema hemacephala,* P. Z. §. Mill. 
The Crimson-breasted Barbet. 
Not noticed by me in the Akrani or higher Satpuras, but a 
permanent resident, and common everywhere else. In breeds 
from February to April. 
199.—Cuculus canorus, Lin, The Cuckoo. 
Only noticed by me on two occasions. I have, however, 
‘been several times told by others that they had heard it, and 
that it is common in the Satpuras in the early part of the 
rains. 
201.—Cuculus poliocephalus,* Lath. The Small 
Cuckoo, 
Passed through Dhulia in large numbers from the middle of 
September to the middle of October. I did not notice it on its 
return migration. 
205.—Hierococcyx varius,“ Vahl. The Hawk 
Cuckoo. 
Tolerably common about Dhulia in the rains from July to 
October. It must breed, but I found no eggs anywhere that 
I could believe to belong to this species. 
?.211.—Chrysococcyx hodgsoni, Moore. The Eme- 
rald Cuckoo. 
I believe I have noticed this bird in the Satpuras, but have 
never got any specimens.

ed. Cuckoo. 
Arrives early in June. Is very common in all the sernb 
jungles round Dhulia, laying in the nests of A. malcolmi and

distinguishable. Itleaves about September, and is a noisy bird 
in the breeding season.
