BAZA CEYLONENSIS. 97 



Central-Province subranges, although it has not yet been recorded beyond the vicinity of the Kandyan 

 capital. 



Habits. — I am unable to furnish any information concerning the habits of this species, beyond that I learn 

 it frequents the borders of forests, the vicinity of steep- wooded hill -faces and patnas interspersed with jungle. 

 When killed it has doubtless been met with in such localities ; but as a rule it will be found, like its congeners, 

 to be a forest-loving species, like Baza lophotes and B. reinwardti. 



The front figure in the Plate accompanying this article is the adult male bird killed at Matale, and that 

 in the background the young bird sent home by Messrs. Whyte and Co. to the British Museum.
