This nest was composed of gi - ass and bark-fibres rather loosely put together, and was purse- 

 shaped, with a hole near the top, and was suspended from a bough. The egg figured is of a 

 brownish lilac-colour with a dark zone near the thick end, and is very regularly marked all over 

 with black streaks. 



The adult male and female I have here figured and described are from Malaccan specimens 

 in the collection of the Marquis of Tweeddale.
