Birds of the Indian Hills 



22. Actinodura egertoni. The rufous bar- 

 wing. A bird about the size of a bulbul. 

 It associates in small flocks which never leave 

 the trees. Common about Darjeeling. A 

 reddish brown bird, with a crest. There is a 

 black bar in the wing. 



23. Zosterofs fal-pebrosa. The Indian white- 

 eye. 



24. Siva cyanuroptera. The blue-winged 

 siva or hill-tit. A pretty little bird, about 

 the size of a sparrow. The head is blue, 

 deeper on the sides than on the crown, streaked 

 with brown. The visible portions of the 

 closed wing and tail are cobalt-blue. 



This species goes about in flocks and has 

 all the habits of a tit. It utters a cheerful 

 chirrup. 



25. Liothrix lutea. The red-billed liothrix 

 or hill-tit, or the Pekin robin. This interest- 

 ing bird forms the subject of a separate essay. 



26. Ixulus fiavicollis. The yellow-naped 

 ixulus. A small tit-like bird with a crest. 

 Like tits these birds associate in small flocks, 

 which move about amid the foliage uttering 

 a continual twittering.

 throat white. Back of neck rusty yellow.
