The species of this division are inhabitants of India and its archipelago. They are usually observed in the open spaces 
die forests and jungles, and sometimes on the trees and bushes near houses, hopping actively among the small branches 
ail( l twig s of trees, while busily engaged in examining leaf by leaf for insects, both in the perfect and imperfect states, 
ail( l spiders, that live among them ; at the same time uttering a loud warbling or querulous sort of note. Their flight
