This inhabits India; and is remarkable for nothing fo much
as the neft, which is conftrufted after a curious manner, being
compofed of two leaves ; the one dead, which it fixes, at the
end of fome branch, to the fide of a living one, by fewing both
together in the manner of a pouch or purfe, and open at top.
it lines the infide with fine down: thus the brood is fecurc
from the depredation of Jnakes and monkies, to which they might
otherwife fall a prey. The eggs are white.
