175. Cyanoderma erythropterum (Blyth). _The Red-winged Babbler_.

Cyanoderma erythropterum, _Bl., Hume, cat._ no. 396 bis.

Mr. W. Davison found the nest of the Red-winged Babbler at Bankasoon

on the 23rd April, just when he was leaving the place. Unfortunately

the birds had not yet laid. The nest was a ball composed of dry

reed-leaves, about 6 inches in diameter. Externally, with a circular

aperture on one side, very like that of _Mixornis rubricapillus_

and of _Dumetia_, and again not at all unlike that of _Ochromela

nigrorufa_, but placed in a bush about 4 feet high and not on the

ground.
