" Occurs abundantly at Masuri, about 5,000 feet elevation, during 
summer, and more sparingly at greater elevations ; in the winter it 
leaves the mountains for the Doon. It breeds in May, on the 27th 
of which month I took one nest with three eggs, and another with 
three young ones. The nest is like that of BsilorJiinus occipitalis, 
being composed externally of twigs, and lined with finer materials, 
according to the situation : one nest, taken in a deep glen by the 
side of a stream, was lined with the long fibrous leaves of the ' mare's 
tail,' which grew abundantly by the water's edge; another, taken 
much higher on the hill-side, and away from the water, was lined 
with tendrils and fine roots. The nest is placed rather low, generally 
about eight or ten feet from the ground, sometimes at the extremity 
of a horizontal branch, sometimes in the forks of young bushy oaks. 
The eggs somewhat resemble those of Bsil. occipitalis, but are paler 
and less spotted, being of a dull greenish-ash, with brown blotches 
and spots somewhat thickly clustered at the larger end ; diameter 
lyV X tI ^^-j shape ordinary." — (Hutton.) 
Mr. Jerdon remarks, that " I think I observed this species in open 
jungle in the Segoor Pass of the Neilgherries, and I have seen speci- 
mens killed in the eastern range of the Ghauts of Southern India."
