brown specks sparingly distributed over the egg except at the larger end 

 at the top of which they formed a zone. They measured -Qx '49. 



486. Tephrodornis pelvicus — Nepal Wood-Shrike.— One specimen obtain- 

 ed, several others seen. 



491. Pericrocotus fraterculus — Burmese Scarlet Minivet. — Only one 

 specimen of this beautiful bird obtained, other birds were seen but on 

 rare occasions. 



539. Mynas and Starlings. — The White-winged Myna. — I have no 

 notes of any seen except that I noticed a bird which I took to be 

 Sturma nemoricola. 



•562. Siphia albicilla — The Eastern Red-breasted Flycatcher. — Seen on 

 several occasions and I obtained 2 specimens, a male and female. 



569. Cyornis melanoleucus — The Little Pied Flycatcher. — Only once 

 seen and obtained. 



576. Cyoi-nis rubeculoides—The Blue-throated Flycatcher, — Only saw 

 one bird which I procured. 



579. Stoparola melanops — The Verditer's Fly-catcher. — This bird was nest- 

 ing in April in the banks of road cuttings and Robinson and I found many 

 nests. I took a clutch of 4, one of 3 and an egg from a clutch of 4 between 

 25th and 30th. The nests were built of moss and lined with fern stems 

 and with 2 exceptions were built into crevices in the banks. The excep- 

 tions were 2 nests I found placed about 18" down a small tunneled hole, 

 just large enough for the bird to enter by, reminding one of a Bee-eater's 

 nest-holes, by which bird it had probably been originally made. 



592. Culicicapa ceylonensis — The Grey-headed Flycatcher. — One 

 specimen obtained. Only noticed 2 or 3 times. 



601. Hypothymis azurea — The Indian Black-naped Flycatcher. — One 

 specimen brought to me by Karens from lower hills. 



604. RTiipidura albifrontata — The White-browed Fantail Flycatcher. 



605. R. albicollis — The White-throated Fantail Flycatcher. — Both spe- 

 cies were represented at Thandoung, the latter being quite common. I 

 found a nest belonging to the latter bird on the 21st of April, containing i> 

 young birds. The nest was cone-shaped and beautifully, neatly and com- 

 pactly constructed being plastered all over with cobwebs and lined 

 with very fine grass. It was built in the fork of a dry slender bam- 

 boo branch which was partially broken midway up and hanging suspended 

 from lower stem. 



608. Pratincola caprata—Covamou Pied Bush-Chat. — I noticed 2 or 3 

 pairs round the Hotel. They were apparently breeding, but I found no 

 nests. 



634. Henicurus leschenaulti — Leschenault's Forktail. — I had very 

 bad luck in not being able to procure this bird's eggs. On two successive 

 days I noticed a pair of birds in a little wooded swamp which I made cer-
