much more standoffish than females. Male adults consider- ably outnumber females especially if allowance is made for immatures in female plumage. Generally speaking males hunt and feed at higher levels than females, the females feed- ing more in the denser lower scrubs near the ground, seldom above 8 feet from the ground, thus being less easily seen and creating an even bigger impression of the lack of fe- males. A single squeaky call will bring them with a bounce from all directions within hearing. Both sexes share in the brooding, though males do little actual sitting on eggs, thought they do a little covering of young. Generally speak- ing, males occupy the nest while females are away from it feeding. Males will often perch right alongside a nest with young birds in it and utters a low soothing call, while the female works hard collecting food for the young- stes. The male does feed young a little, but the bulk of the feeding is done by the female, the male more often hopping about in adjacent trees and calling much. Nest (sample sent) is the usual Pachycephala nest, generally placed in a clump of vines at the top of a small tree (secondary growth) 10 or 15 feet from the ground though often very much lower and even as low as 4 feet. Generally, a thin 3 or 4 cm. sapling with a bunchy top or vine entangled, is selected, a tree generally too thin to support a human climber, though I saw one nest placed against the trunk of a teak where a clump of sucker growth occurred. Eggs, two, said to be warm pinkish brown or chocolate with dark blotches and a distinct zone at the larger end. Nesting season, odd ones almost all the year
