PARADISE FL, 



T HAVE twice met with this bird in drawings done in India, in 



which the cinnamon- coloured one was exprefled as the female of 



the whit-e one. The name given to them was Shawhul, which 



means the King of Singing Birds, as the bird is faid to have a moft 



delightful note *.
