"This is very common in Mussooree at all seasons, and con- 
gregates into large and noisy flocks, turning up the dead leaves, and 
screaming and chattering together in most discordant concert. It 
breeds in April and May, placing the nest in the forks of young 
oaks and other trees, about 7 or 8 feet from the ground, though 
sometimes higher, and fastening the sides of it firmly to the sup- 
porting twigs by tendrils of climbing plants. It is sometimes 
composed externally almost entirely of such woody tendrils, inter- 
mixed with a few other twigs, and lined with black hair-like fibres of 
mosses and lichens ; at other times it is externally composed of 
coarse dry grasses and leaves of difierent kinds of orchis, and lined 
with fibres, the materials varying with the locality. The eggs are of 
a deep and beautiful green, shining as if recently varnished, and 
three in number ; in shape, they taper somewhat suddenly to the 
smaller end, which may almost be termed obtusely pointed ; the 
diameter, 1 x \^ inches. The usual number of eggs is three, 
though they vary sometimes to one or two ; but only on one occasion 
out of more than a dozen nests, have I found four eggs. The old 
bird will remain on the nest until within reach of the hand." —
