chestnut, and the sides are tinged with the same colour. It 

 is perhaps the young of some allied form. 



Two eggs of this species were obtained at Parimau on 

 the 14th of December, 1910, with one of the parent birds, 

 No. 722. 



The eggs are of a rather pointed oval shape and somewhat 

 glossj, the ground is white densely spotted and dotted all 

 over the shell with light maroon-red and purplish-grey, the 

 markings being, however, most numerous towards the larger 

 end. They measure respectively 23 x 16'5, 22 x 16 mm. 



" The Spot- winged Flycatcher was quite a common bird 

 everywhere, and several nests were found at ParimaUj 

 though only two were occupied. The nests were found in 

 the depths of the jungle and built in the fork of a small 

 sapling about four feet from the ground. They were deeply 

 cup-shaped and composed of green moss lined with fine 

 rootlets. The parent birds, which were quite tame, were 

 secured on both occasions." — C.H.B. G.
