KOUGH LIST OF THE BIRDS OF WESTERN KHANDESH. 305 
385.—Pyctoris sinensis,* Gm. ‘he Yellow-eyed 
Babbler. 
Permanent resident. Common everywhere. Its nests were 
abundant in July, August and September; except Franklinia 
buchanani, it was the commonest breeding bird about Dhulia in 
the rains. ; 
398.—Dumetia albogularis,* Blyth. The White- 
throated Wren Babbler. 
Permanent resident. Not uncommon about Dhulia and 
Nandurbar, and noticed elsewhere, but very local. It bred in 
the end of the hot weather and beginning of the rains. 
399.—Pellorneum ruficeps,* Swains. Swainson’s 
Wren Babbler. 
I obtained a single specimen of this bird at Nandurbar in the 
hot weather. 
404ter.—Pomatorhinus obscurus,* Hume. Hume's 
Scimitar Babbler. 
Probably a permanent resident; rare. Only noticed among 
the hills in the Pimpalnir taluka in the south-west part of the 
district. 
434,—Malacocercus malabaricus,* Jerd. The Jungle 
Babbler. 
Permanent resident. Common in the Satpuras, and in the 
jungles along the ghatsin Pimpalnir. It is exclusively con- 
fined to the jungles and perhaps a few bushy nullahs a mile or 
two from them. It breeds in the hot weather, and I have no 
doubt also in the rains. As soon as cultivation begins this bird 
is replaced by the next species. 
436.—Argya malcolmi,* Sykes, The Large Grey 
Babbler. 
Permanent resident. Very common all over the district 
except in the thick jungles; breeding from May to December. 
438.—Chatarrhea caudata,* Dum. The Striated 
Bush Babbler. 
Permanent resident. Very common everywhere except in 
the thick jungles; breeding at all seasons.
