(282) I. indica— The White-browed Bush-Robin. 

 Oates, No. 655 ; Hume, No. 510. 

 I have shot three of these birds, all obtained on the same day in 

 January, 1892, at Halflong. These birds were catching insects on a 

 huge leafy tree in thin forest ; they were searching the leaves, making 

 occasional dashes into the air as the insects they disturbed tried 

 to escape them. The stomach of one contained a large mass of half- 

 digested insects, most of which appeared to be a kind of small yellow 

 beetle, and one other which looked like a small golden tree-bug. 

 (283) Notodela leucuka. — The White-tailed Blue-Robin. 



Oates, No. 659 ; Hume, No. 477. 

 Very common everywhere above 3,000 feet and breeding freely 

 above that elevation. 



(284) Copsychus saulaeis. — The Magpie-Robin. 

 Oates, No. 663 ; Hume, Nos. 475 and 475 Bis. 

 Very common everywhere. I have noticed it in the Leri Range 

 at elevations over 5,000 feet, in some places over 6,000. 

 (285) Cittocincla mackura. — The Shama. 

 Oates, No. 664 ; Hume, No. 476. 

 Common up to about 3,000 feet, above which I have very seldom 

 noticed it ; never over 3,300 feet. 



Sub-family Turdince. 

 (286) Merula albicincta. — The White-collared Ouzel. 

 Oates, No. 672 ; Hume, No. 362. 

 I have only seen this bird on a tiny stream running below the 

 village of Ninglo, about 3,800 feet altitude. I did not shoot it, 

 but it was very distinctly visible as it sat on a small sapling, and I do 

 not think I could have made a mistake in my identification. 

 (287) M. castanea. — The Grey-headed Ouzel. 

 Oates, No. 673 ; Hume, No. 363. 

 A not uncommon visitor during the winter, descending to the 

 level of the plains. 



(288) M. euscata.— The Dusky Ouzel. 

 Oates, No. 674 ; Hume, No. 366. 

 I have but two birds, which I can with absolute certainty assign 

 to the species. These are both females and were shot at an elevation 

 of about 3,000 feet.
