This, Mr. Hume says, 1. c. p. 104, is most probably the Kingfisher 
he obserYed on Barren Island. Oddly enough the writer saw no King¬ 
fisher on Barren Island, but several individuals, perhaps of this species, 
were very actively employed on the coast at the north-east corner of 
Harcondam.

Stray Feathers i, 411 ; ii, 176. 
This species, which is confined to Narcondam, is exceedingly plenti¬ 
ful there. It is very far from shy, for on one occasion when the writer 
and his attendants were busy cutting down a tree, three or four of 
these birds, apparently attracted by the noise, came and settled above us, 
continuing to scream and chatter overhead, while the tree vibrated 
under our strokes, for some time before making up their minds to fly 
away. 
Distrib. Endemic.

Stray Feathers ii, 184.
