20 BIRDS OF THE LARUT HILLS. 
frequenting the streams which filter through the dark ravines. 
When these are in spate after a downpour of rain, the Forktails 
come out on to the roads. Asa rule this is a very shy bird, but 
some individuals are extremely tame. Ii found a nest ina cleft 
of a moss-grown rock by the edge of the path. It was com- 
posed very largely of earth, thickly covered with green moss 
and was consequently remarkably heavy for its size. It con- 
tained two longish cream white eggs, very glossy, and spotted 
with rufous. (2.) 
61. Copsychus saularis, (Linn.) 
The Magpie Robin. A few pairs round the Tea Garden 
and Maxwell’s bungalow. 
62. Geocichla innotata. (Blyth.) 
The Malay Ground Thrush. A blue-grey Geocichla with 
an orange breast flew past me once in thick jungle at 2 HDD feet ; 
it is almost certain to have been this species. 
63. Monticola gularis. 
I obtained one specimen—an immature male—of this very 
rave little Thrush in thick jungle at about 2,500 feet. (1.) 
64. Monticola cyanus solitaria. (P. L. Mill.) 
The Eastern Blue Rock Thrush. I noticed a blue Rock 
Thrush frequenting the rocks, fallen trees, etc., on the Tea 
Garden clearing ; it was very shy and eluded pursuit for some 
days. When obtained it proved to be this species. Elevation 
2,000 feet. (1.) 
65. Uroloncha acuticauda. (Hodgs.) 
Hodgson’s Munia. Fairly plentiful about the Tea Garden 
clearing. They were breeding in April, and I found several of 
their well known nests. 
66. Hirundo gutturalis. (Scop. ) 
The Eastern House Swallow. Numerous round the bunga- 
lows on the hill. |
