* Almost the most characteristic bird of open country and dry rice-fields. 
No. 287 was snared on its nest which was situated among long grass at the 
edge of a rice-field, and consisted of a flat circular pad some five inches in 
diameter, composed of dead grass and loose maize leaves, lined with a 
few horse-hairs, which must have been hard to come by as there were only 
three ponies in the country. The eggs were four in number, rather pointed, 
the ground colour dirty white, thickly covered with very fine dark sienna- 
brown mottlings, evenly distributed, and also with large purplish-black blotches 
more thickly congregated at the larger end. Malay name, Apit-apit,'
