206 THE ZOOLOGIST. 



P. maura, Pall. (Common Indian Bush-Chat). — Very com- 

 mon during the cold weather. Affects the same situations as 

 the last. 



P. leucura, Blyth (White-tailed Bush-Chat). — I never saw 

 this bird myself, but my friend Mr. C. M. Inglis writes that he 

 saw a bird at Nashar, which he took to be this species. 



Ruticilla rufiventris, Vieill. (Indian Eedstart). — A common 

 cold weather visitor, arriving in October, and departing again in 

 March. 



Cyanecula suecica, Linn. (Bed Spotted Blue-throat). — This 

 bird is very common during the cold weather among sugar- 

 cane and tall grasses. It usually arrives about the end of 

 September. 



Calliope camtschatkensis, Gmel. (Common Ruby-throat). — 

 Two were seen by Mr. Inglis at Narhar. 



Copsychus saularis, Linn. (Magpie-Robin). — Extremely com- 

 mon. It breeds in April, May, and June. Five appears to be 

 the full complement of eggs. This bird is much prized by the 

 natives for cages, on account of its sweet song. 



Cittocincla macrura, Gmel. (Shama). — One of Mr. Inglis's col- 

 lectors shot a specimen of this bird at Narhar in February, 1900. 



Merala atrigularis, Temm. (Black-throated Ouzel). — I once 

 came across a small flock of these birds at Dalsingh Serai in 

 March, 1900, but was unable to secure any. 



Geocichla citrina, Lath. (Orange-headed Ground-Thrush). — 

 A scarce winter visitor. Usually seen in mango groves. 



Oreocincla dauma, Lath. (Small-billed Mountain-Thrush). — 

 A pair were shot by Mr. Inglis's collectors at Narhar in March, 

 1899. 



Ploceus baya, Blyth (Baya). — Common. Breeds during the 

 rains, making a large hanging nest. Most of the nests I have 

 taken were hung on palm trees, but I have seen them on mimosa 

 and sisoo trees. Two is the full complement of eggs. 



P. bengalensis, Linn. (Black-throated Weaver-Bird). — Com- 

 mon, but not quite as common as P. baya. They build in 

 rushes and long grass, breeding in June, July, August, and 

 September. 



Munia atricapilla, Vieill. (Chestnut-bellied Munia). — Found 

 commonly in July and August.
