The Blue Larvivora, Hodgs. 
a. h. Nepal. Presented by B. H. Hodgson, Esq. 
" This bird is common to all the three regions of Xepal, and never 
quits the woods. It perches freely, but is usually on the ground. 
Its stomacb is feebler than in Tesia, and does not take seeds or 
gravel. From the number of insect nests and larvae found in its 
stomach, I have called the genus Larvivora.'" — (Hodgs., J. A. S. 
Beng. \1. p. 103.) 
" Is rare in the JS'eilgherries ; also very rare and accidental in 
Lower Bengal during the season of passage." — (Bh-th.) 
" I observed this bird very rarely in thick and tangled underwood 
on the Xeilgherries. It has a single low chuckling note, like that of 
some of the Stonechats." — (Jerdon.)
