SOME MAYMYO BIBBS. 1007 



No. 474. Lanius collurioides, (Less.). — (The Burmese Shrike.) 



Very plentiful. We found several nests with eggs and young. I made a 



very fine series of eggs ranging from almost a bright red to dull grey. 

 No. 475. Lanius nigriceps, (Frankl.) -(The Black-headed Shrike.) 

 Saw none during the breeding season, but it is plentiful in Maymyo later on. 

 No. 481. Lanius cristatus, (L.) — (The Brown Shrike.) 

 Seen on two or three occasions, but as far as I could see not breeding.

Shrike.)

Minivet.) 



Both fairly common, but I failed to find nests. 



No. 500. Pericrocotus perigrinus, (L.) — (The Small Minivet.) 



Common, breeding in May. J have taken nests at Taunggyi in March. 



No. 510. Graucalus macii, (Less.). — (The Large Cuckoo Shrike.) 



Seen on several occasions, as well as a species of CampopJiaga ? 



No. 512. Artamus fuscus, {Vieill.). — The Ashy Swallow-Shrike. 



A few to be seen in old Taungyas and probably breeds near Maymyo. 



No. 515. Oriolus tenuirostris, (Blyth.). — (The Burmese Black-naped 



Oriole.) 



One nest containing three eggs with parent bird procured on the 7th 



May. Two eggs were unfortunately broken when taking the nest which was 



situated at the end of a bough. Nest suspended between a fork, and 



composed of grass and grass down and lined with fine grass. Measured 



outside, 6x4x3 deep, and inside 4 x 3 X 2-§ deep. Eggs of the family 



type.

All plentiful and common up at Maymyo, which seems particularly

above were prospecting for nesting sites and having great squabbles 



amongst themselves over suitable holes.
