"On 30th October, in a garden near the same place, another nest was found, on the twigs of a pangra tree, containing three young birds and one egg." Messrs. Davidson and Wenden say:--"Tolerably common in the Sholapoor District; more so in the better-wooded parts, and breeds." Finally, Colonel Butler sends me the following note:-- "Belgaum, 14th September, 1880.--A nest in sugar-cane about 2 feet from the ground, containing five fresh eggs. 17th September: another nest in a sugar-cane field, containing five eggs about to hatch. In both instances the nest was built, not on the blades of sugar-cane, but on a solitary green-leaved weedy-looking plant growing amongst the sugar-cane. "The Yellow-eyed Babbler breeds during the rains. I have taken nests on the following dates:-- "July 26, 1875. A nest containing 4 fresh eggs. "July 30, 1875. " " 3 fresh eggs. "Aug. 14, 1875. " " 4 fresh eggs. "Aug. 21, 1875. " " 4 fresh eggs. "July 18, 1876. " " 4 fresh eggs. "July 20, 1876. " " 3 fresh eggs. "July 28, 1876. " " 4 fresh eggs. "From this date to the end of August I found any number of nests containing eggs of both types. The nest is usually built in the fork of some low thorny tree from 3 to 7 feet from the ground. The outside of the nest is usually smeared over with cobwebs, reminding one of the nest of a _Rhipidura_" Mr. Oates writes:--"Breeds abundantly throughout Pegu in June, and probably in the other months of the rains up to September."
