their ways and manners, even more so than in their general ap- 
pearance. 
(96) P. meLAnotis.—The Chestnut-throated Shrike-Tit. 
Oates, No. 239 ; Hume, No. 611. 
A very rare bird here, only fouhd in the loftiest peaks round about 
Hunerum, ranging from 5,500 feet upwards. 
(97) AderrHina TyPHIA.—The Common Tora. 
Oates, No. 248; Hume, Nos. 467-8. 
A very common bird indeed. I may mention that all the eggs I 
have ever seen of this species have been marked with grey more or 
less tinged with brown, and sometimes also, but not often, one or two 
small marks of reddish. I have never yet seen an egg marked only 
with brown and reddish-brown, as described by Oates. 
(98) CHLoROpsIS AURIFRONS.—The Gold-fronted Chloropsis. 
Oates, No. 247; Hume, No. 465. 
I shall make no remarks on this genus here, as I included it 
amongst the bulbuls of North Cachar, on which birds I have written 
an article which has appeared in the Bombay Society’s Journal. 
(99) C. HaRpIwicKi1.—The Orange-bellied Chloropsis. 
Oates, No. 249; Hume, No. 460. 
(100) C. cunorocepHata.—The Burmese Chloropsis. 
Oates, No. 250; Hume, No. 463 Bis. 
(101) C. serpoxt.—Jerdon’s Chloropsis. 
Oates, No. 252; Hume, No. 463. 
; (102) Inenz pusLLa.—The Fairy Blue Bird. 
Oates, No. 254; Hume, No. 469. 
This bird does not appear to ascend the hilis of the north-east above 
2,000 feet, and is most often met with very low down or actually in the 
plains themselves. I have never noticed it in parties, nor have I ever 
seen a single bird ; they seem always to keep in pairs. It breeds only, 
I believe, in evergreen forest, and generally near some small stream or 
other piece of water. 
(103) MenanocHtora sULTANEA.—The Sultan Tit. 
Oates, No. 255 ; Hume, No. 650. 
This is another genus which, I think, has been taken from its former 
position (amongst the Paring) without good cause, and has been
