The Stripe-throated Yuhina breeds, according to Mr. Hodgson's notes, from April to July, building a large massive nest of moss, lined with moss-roots, and wedged into a fork of a branch or between ledges of rocks, more or less globular in shape, and with a circular aperture near the top towards one side. A nest taken on the 19th June, near Darjeeling, was quite egg-shaped, the long diameter being perpendicular to the ground, and measured 6 inches in height and 4 inches in breadth, the aperture, 2 inches in diameter, being well above the middle of the nest; the cavity was lined with fine moss-roots. The eggs are figured as rather elongated ovals, 0·8 by 0·56, with a pale buffy or _café au lait_ ground-colour, thickly spotted with red or brownish red, the markings forming a confluent zone about the large end. 225. Yuhina nigrimentum (Hodgs.). _The Black-chinned Yuhina_. Yuhina nigrimentum (_Hodgs.), Jerd. B. Ind._ ii, p. 262; _Hume, Rough Draft N. & E._ no. 628. A nest of the Black-chinned Yuhina, taken by Mr. Gammie on the 17th June below Rungbee, at an elevation of about 3500 feet, was placed in a large tree, at a height of about 10 feet from the ground, and contained four hard-set eggs. It is a mere pad, below of moss, mingled with a little wool and moss-roots, and above, that is to say the surface where the eggs repose, of excessively fine grass-roots. Dr. Jerdon says:--"A nest was once brought me which was declared to belong to this species; it was a very small neat fabric, of ordinary shape, made with moss and grass, and contained three small pure white eggs. The rarity of the bird makes me doubt if the nest really belonged to it." The eggs are tiny little elongated ovals, pure white, and absolutely glossless. Two sent me by Mr. Gammie measure 0·58 by 0·42 and 0·57 by 0·43. 226. Zosterops palpebrosa (Temm.). _The Indian White-eye_. Zosterops palpebrosus (_Temm.), Jerd. B. Ind._ ii, p. 265; _Hume, Rough Draft N. & E._ no. 631. The Indian White-eye, or White-eyed Tit as Jerdon terms it, breeds almost throughout the Indian Empire, sparingly in the hotter and more arid plains, abundantly in the Nilghiris and other ranges of the Peninsula to their very summits, and in the Himalayas to an elevation of 5000 or 6000 feet. The breeding-season extends in different localities from January to September, but I think that everywhere April is the month in which most eggs are to be met with. Sometimes they have two broods; whether this is always the case I do not know. The nest is placed almost indifferently at any elevation. I have taken one from amongst the topmost twigs of a huge mohwa tree (_Bassia latifolia_) fully 60 feet high, and I have found them in a tiny bush not a foot off the soil. Still I think that perhaps the majority build at low elevations, say between 2 and 6 feet from the ground.
