Mr. Hodgson notes from Jaha Powah:--"Found five nests of this species between 18th and 30th May. Builds near the tops of moderate-sized trees in open districts, making a very shallow nest of thin elastic grasses sparingly used and without lining. The nest is placed on some horizontal branch against some upright twig, or at some horizontal fork. It is nearly round and has a diameter of about 6 inches. They lay three or four eggs of a sordid vernal green clouded with obscure brown." The eggs are somewhat lengthened ovals, very much smaller than, though so far as coloration goes very similar to, those of _G. glandarius_. The ground-colour in some is a brown stone colour, in others pale greenish white, and intermediate shades occur, and they are very minutely and feebly freckled and mottled over the whole surface with a somewhat pale sepia-brown. This mottling differs much in intensity; in some few eggs indeed it is absolutely wanting, while in others, though feeble elsewhere, it forms a distinct, though undefined, brownish cap or zone at the large end. The eggs generally have little or no gloss. It is not uncommon to find a few hair-like dark brown lines, more or less zigzag, about the larger end. In length they vary from 1·03 to 1·23, and in breadth from 0·78 to 0·88; but the average of twenty-four eggs is 1·12 by 0·85. 25. Garrulus leucotis, Hume. _The Burmese Jay_. Garrulus leucotis, _Hume, Hume, Cat._ no. 669 bis. The nest of this Jay has not yet been found, but Capt. Bingham writes:-- "Like Mr. Davison I have found this very handsome Jay affecting only the dry _Dillenia_ and pine-forests so common in the Thoungyeen valley. I have seen it feeding on the ground in such places with _Gecinus nigrigenys, Upupa longirostris_, and other birds. I shot one specimen, a female, in April, near the Meplay river, that must have had a nest somewhere, which, however, I failed to find, for she had a full-formed but shell-less egg inside her." 26. Garrulus bispecularis, Vigors. _The Himalayan Jay_. Garrulus bispecularis, _Vig., Jerd. B. Ind._ ii, p. 307; _Hume, Rough Draft N. & E._ no. 669. The Himalayan Jay breeds pretty well throughout the lower ranges of the Himalayas. It is nowhere, that I have seen, numerically very abundant, but it is to be met with everywhere. It lays in March and April, and, though I have never taken the nest myself, I have now repeatedly had it sent me. It builds at moderate heights, rarely above 25 feet from the ground, in trees or thick shrubs, at elevations of from 3000 to 7000 feet. The nest is a moderate-sized one, 6 to 8 inches in external diameter, composed of fine twigs and grass, and lined with finer grass and roots. The nest is usually placed in a fork. The eggs are four to six in number.
