304 ROUGH LIST OF THE BIRDS OF WESTERN KHANDESH. 
297.—Alseonax latirostris,* Raff. The Southern 
Brown Flycatcher. 
Appears at the end of the rains, and is then not uncommon. 
Seemingly stays only a few weeks and passes on. 
301.—Stoporala melanops,* Vig. The Verditer 
Flycatcher. 
A straggler; rare. Specimens obtained in March at Shada. 
306.—Cyornis tickelli,* Blyth. Tickell’s Blue Red- 
breast. 
Permanent resider.t. Fairly common wherever there is jungle 
or groves. Noticed in all parts of the district at all seasons. 
310.—Muscicapula superciliaris,* Jerd. The White- 
browed Blue Flycatcher. 
A single specimen was obtained by me in the Akrani in 
March 1881. 
323 bis.—Erythrosterna parva,” Bechst. The White- 
tailed Robin Flycatcher. 
Winter visitant. Common from October to March; the 
males assuming the red breast before leaving. 
345.—Pitta brachyura,* Zin. The Indian Ground- 
Thrush. 
Rare. I have only twice obtained specimens, one in Dhulia in 
the beginning of July, and another in the scrub jungle somewhere 
near this station, in August. The last was brought by some 
Bheel herd-boys who said they had caught it on itsnest. They 
produced a nest which might have belonged to the bird, but 
the eggs therein were those of A. malcolm, though the nest 
did not belong to this species. The specimen of érachyura was 
alive, but had lost its tail, and the boys had pulled out its wing 
feathers to prevent it flying. It had clearly been sitting on 
eggs, and I have no doubt that they had caught it on its nest, 
but having broken the eggs, they substituted the first eggs 
they came across afterwards. 
351.—Cyanocinclus cyanus,* Zin. The Blue Rock- 
Thrush. 
Cold weather visitant. Not common, but found in all the 
rocky hills.
