7. Hydrocichla velatus (Sharpe). 
Several were obtained in a rocky stream near Tosari. 
Iris dark brown ; bill black ; feet white. 
8. Prinia polychroa (Gray). 
A specimen was obtained near Lawang. 
Iris light hazel ; legs pink. 
9. Motacilla flava, L. 
Larce flocks began to arrive in Tosari on the 23rd October. 
10. Anthits rufulus, Vieill. 
Fairly common on the ridges of the Bromo and also noticed on the dry sandy desert at the bottom of 
the extinct crater. 
11. PoMATORHINUS MONTANUS, Horsf. 
Fairly common in the mountains, where they frequented the low growth amongst the casnarina trees, 
a favourite hunting-ground of this bird being the tangled growth which covers the deep gullies cut in the 
soft volcanic ash by the heavy rains, which are at times about eight feet deep. The note of this bird 
begins with a whistle and finishes with a chatter like that made by the Fieldfare. 
Eye pale straw-yellow ; bill brown, yellow underneath ; legs greyish green. 
12. Megalurus palustris, Horsf. 
Met with both in the mountains and in the plains. The great difference in size between individuals 
of this species is most remarkable. This bird has much the habits of a Pipit; like the Meadow-Pipit, it 
often flies high in the air and slowly descends to the ground with half-closed wings, uttering all the while 
a pretty song ; it often settles on the tops of low trees, but when walking in the grass the long tail seems 
to cause inconvenience. 
Eye hazel ; upper mandible black, lower and feet flesh-colour. 
13. Timelia pileata, Horsf. 
A small flock was met with in a tangled mass of weeds in a field near Lawang. 
Iris lake-red ; bill black ; feet horny grey. 
14. Turdinus sepiarius, Sharpe. 
A few were seen near Lawang. Generally creeping mouse-like amongst the tangled thorny thickets 
of bamboo, when disturbed flying a short distance, when it is soon lost to sight in the thick undergrowth. 
On the 5th November I found a nest containing two eggs—much in the position usually selected by a 
Nightingale ; the nest was deep, composed of broad grasses and dead leaves. The eggs were pale salmon 
coloured, scribbled all over with dark red, after the manner of a Bunting^s. 
Iris hazel. 
15. Drymocataphus capistratus (Salvad.). 
Lawang. 
16. Hemixus virescens (Temm.). 
Several were obtained in the coffee-plantations near Tosari. 
Eye light red; bill and feet leaden blue. 
17. Pycnonottjs bimactjlatus, Blyth. 
Not very common ; a few pairs were met with as high as 7000 feet. 
Eye, bill, and feet black. 
18. Pycnonotus aurigaster, Gray. 
One of the commonest of Javan birds from the sea-level up to 5000 feet.
