(Plate I.*) 



The nesting of the following species is, I believe^ not 

 mentioned in Hume's '^ Nests and Eggs/ though most 

 of the cases have been recorded by me from time to time 

 in the Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society. 



A great number of the nests were found at the little 

 hill-station of Sinlum-Kaba_, situated at an altitude of about 

 6000 feet in the hills, 30 miles due east of Bhamo, Upper 

 Burma. Others were found at Maymyo at about 3500 

 feet. This hill-statiou is situated on the edge of the Shan 

 Plateau, 48 miles east of Mandalay.
