1008 JOURNAL, BOMBAY NATURAL HLST. SOCLETY, Vol. XX. 



Very common. Breeding in April and May, and probably earlier. I 

 found three nests containing Cuckoos' eggs ; one nest found by P. F. 

 Wickham when we were out together was placed at the bottom of a hole in 

 the ground at least 12 inches from the entrance, which was so narrow that 

 no Cuckoo could possibly have got in, so that the egg must have been 

 rolled into the nest, which contained five eggs of P. caprata and one 

 Cuckoo's egg, showing that the Cuckoo had probably been unable to take 

 out the customary one.

Common. 



No. 739. Sporceginthus Jlavidiventris, (Wallace.) — (The Burmese Red 

 Munia.) 



Plentiful in open grass lands. I also saw the Chestnut-bellied Munia 

 M. atricapilla and either the Spotted Munia, U. punctulata or the Chinese 

 Munia, U. topela. I did not collect specimens as they were not nesting 

 while I was up at Maymyo.

Very plentiful, nesting freely in holes of tree stumps in oldTaungyas. 



No. 803. Melophus melanicterus, (Gen.) — (The Crested Bunting.) 



Plentiful in the open country round Enlya. At first I was quite unsuc- 

 cessful in finding their nests, but afterwards found three which were all 

 placed on the tops of small mounds covered by small plants.
