" In all the species of Leiothrix the tongue, without being elon- 
gated, is pointed, rather deeply forked, and more or less jagged on 
the edges, anteally. And in all, the stomach has a good deal of 
muscular power, being almost mediate between the typical Finches 
and Tits. In conformity with this structure the food is Pariano- 
fringillidan, consisting almost equally of insects, their nests, larvae, 
and pupae, and of seeds. (They explore opening buds so diligently 
that they might be called Bud-hunters. Their frontal plumes are, 
in consequence, frequently aggluminated by the pollen and ^dscid 
juices of plants and trees.) Berries are also frequently taken, but I 
never found gravel in the stomach of any, save one or two specimens 
of Cahpyga (Z. liiteus)."" — (Hodgson.)
