 The latter Minivet is not common ; I have only seen it in one place, in 

 the Karta Jungle, and have never found its nest, but Mr. Tucker found one 

 near Rurawan. The small Minivet breeds in April and May. Mr. W. Jesse 

 in his interesting pamphlet on the ' Birds of Lucknow ' mentions a very 

 curious fact in connection with this bird, viz., that "with, I think, only one 

 or two exceptions at the most, I have always found nests, whether building 

 or with eggs, in possession of three birds, tivo females and one male. What 

 is the exact duty of this second wife I cannot make ovit." I have looked 

 out for this ' tertium quid ' in Saugor but have never seen any sign of her.

Bahrdm.

 All three of these fly-catchers have defeated me at present so far as their 

 eggs go. But Mr. Tucker has found the nest of the white-browed Fantail 

 and also in the gardens behind the Gopalgunj Bazar, which is one of our 

 happy hunting grounds, found one year in June a nest with young of 

 Tickell's Blue Fly-catcher. This latter Fly-catcher is probably more 

 common than it appears to be, for it always haunts thick cover and shade. 

 The Paradise is fairly common in the district while the white-browed
