Birds of Luc know. 549 
No. 575. Cyornis rubeculoides. Blue-throated Fly- 
catcher. 
E-eid recorded this bird as ^^ only a cold- weather visitor, 
numerically rare and seldom seen, except perhaps in the 
guava-groves and gardens about Lucknow. In the District 
it is occasionally met with in mango-topes, frequenting low 
branches, or often small shoots projecting from the trunks 
of the trees, from which it sallies forth after insects, rarely 
returning to the same perch, and seldom to the same tree." 
I have only seen the bird once, and that was in my 
garden at La Martiniere College. 
No. 576. Cyornis tickelli. TickelVs Blue Flycatcher. 
According to Reid, this species is commoner than the 
last. I have no note of having seen it, and my impression 
is that both species are of rare occurrence in Lucknow. 
No. 579. Stoparola melanops. Verditer Flycatcher. 
Only a cold-weather visitant, of course, and never, I think, 
very abundant. Reid gives the better wooded parts of the 
Division, the Horticultural Gardens, and the Wingfield 
Park — where, if I remember right, I have seen it on one or 
two occasions — as the localities it chiefly affects. 
No. 588. Alseonax latirostris. Brown Flycatcher. 
I have no note of having actually come across this bird. 
Reid has recorded it as occurring during the " rains," but 
he had ^' no record or recollection of having seen it at other 
seasons.'''' 
No. 593. Culicicapa ceylonensis. Grey-headed Fly- 
catcher. 
This Flycatcher visits the Division in large numbers 
during the cold weather. It shews great partiality for 
mango-topes. 
No. 598. Terpsi PHONE paradisi. Indian Paradise Fly- 
catcher. 
Shah-Bulbul [H.]. Rock-Bulbul [Anglo-Indian boys] . 
A permanent resident, generally spread over the wooded 
portions of the Division, but far from numerically abundant.
