from it. On one occasion I observed this species fishing in a shallow pool, pursuing the small 
m fishes and shrimps by hopping after them from one end of the pool to the other." 
Mr. Euler says that at Cantagallo the species nests in bushes, hedges, and fruit-trees in gardens, 
and it especially affects the more densely clothed orange-trees, placing its nest at a height of 
га from five to ten feet from the ground. Не has also found the nest in the upper branches of a high 
ч “manga” tree, quite forty feet up, and again on а tree-stump only two feet high, but always resting 
Ri on a solid foundation ; it is placed either by itself in the fork of a branch or touching the stem, but 
A is always concealed by the foliage. Тһе nestis a deep cup like that of other Thrushes. Тһе eggs 
wi are of a beautiful yellowish-green, with longitudinal zigzag spots distributed over the surface.
