BIRDS OF THE LARUT HILLS. 17 
frequenting the sides of the path, the garder round The Cottage, 
etc. Exactly like a Tailor-bird!in appearance and habits, though 
differing in several important generic characteristics. The dis- 
covery of its nest would be of great interest. Oates suggests that 
this genus may nest in holes of trees, like Adbrornis. The bird 
seemed to me so very tailor-bird-like in its habits that I should 
hardly expect it myself to differ very much in nidification. (2). 
40. Sutoria maculicauda, (Moore.) 
2,000 to 3,000 feet. Not common. I found a nest, a typ- 
ical tailor-bird’s, sewn between two leaves, and containing one 
egg of the Tailor-bird type. 1 cannot give a description, as on 
my revisiting the nest next day I found it empty. This was in 
April. (1.) 
41. Lanius tigrinus. (Drap.) 
The Thick-billed shrike. Met with half-a-dozen times up 
to 3,500 feet, mostly immature specimens. 1 
42. Tephrodornis gularis. (Raffles.) 
Malay Wood Shrike. Only shot it once at 3,000 feet, but 
probably overlooked it on other occasions, owing to the difficul- 
ty of identifying birds feeding high overhead in lofty trees. (1) 
43. Pericrocotus wrayi. (Sharpe.) 
Wray’s Minivet. Replaces the next species at about 3,500 
feet, above which it is fairly common. 2 
44, Pericrocotus speciosus fraterculus. (Swinhoe.) 
The Burmese Scarlet Minivet. Obtained from 1,500 feet to 
3,000 or 3,500, where it gives place to the last form. 2 
45. Pericrocotus flammifer. (Hume.) 
Davison’s Scarlet Minivet. I shot a male at just over two 
thousand feet ; it was very badly shot and I did not preserve it, 
expecting to get others. 
46. Pericrocotus igneus. (Blyth.) 
The Fiery Minivet. I shot a female Minivet at 4,000 feet
