plantation.]

Three eggs, collected on October 8, 1903, are greenish 
white in colour, heavily blotched with brown and with smaller 
markings of pale lilac. Axis 0'9-l*0 inch; diameter 0’65. 
Two eggs, obtained on November 7, 1902, are similar in 
colour, but not so heavily blotched. Axis 08-1 *0 inch; 
diameter 0*65. 
Mr. Foster was very strongly of opinion that the specimens 
enumerated below belonged to a different species from 
T. sayaca, as he found that both forms bred in the same 
district. It may be, of course, that the bird does not put 
on the full-plumaged dress until the second year, which 
would account for its breeding in the so-called immature 
plumage.

[This bird is resident and generally distributed. Nest 
firmly constructed of moss and twigs lined with fine grass. 
Three eggs form a clutch. I am of opinion that the birds 
pair for life, as the same nesting-place is used year after year; 
a solitary tree is selected when possible; one brood only is 
reared in a season.— TV. F.]
