containing four eggs. The entrance to the nest was at the side, with a little platform of 
twigs leading up to it. The interior was lined with fine black roots; and the eggs were 
glossy white, spotted with purplish black, mostly on the larger end. They measured 
1:08 х 0:88, 1:08 х 0:85, 1:09 x 0-85, and 1:10 x 0:86 inch. 
Mr. Davison, who met with this bird in Tenasserim, where it is also very rare, says it 
seems to be confined to the plains and low hills. It has all the Pitta habits, lives and 
feeds exclusively on the ground, and dwells in moderately thick jungle. He never heard 
it utter any note, so far as he was aware.
