BIRDS OF THE LARUT HILLS. 17 
frequenting si sides of the path, the garder round The Cottage, 
ke a Tailor-bird in appearance and habits, though 
differing in carted important generic characteristics, The dis- 
covery of its nest would be of great interest. Oates suggests that 
р шау nest in holes of trees, like Abromrnis, Тһе bir 
o very tailor-bird-like in its habits that I should 
hardly expect it myself to differ very much in nidification. (2).
