SUMMARY:
The page describes a well-laid-out camp at Khona Nagri where dense spider webs made movement difficult and hindered bird collecting. It notes the collection of several birds, including a rare Elachura formosa in fine plumage.
CONTENT:
Ludlow 160-161 - Birds
"Our camp at Khona Nagri, perched on a ridge, was a most delightful one and very well laid out. The only drawback was that the surrounding jungle abounded with huge spiders' webs which are seen everywhere. The only way of getting through this jungle is to flourish a small branch in front of one—this is not good for bird collecting, of course."
Ludlow p. 162.
We got some nice birds here, one of which was a specimen of Elachura formosa in fine plumage. This is a very rare bird; little is known about it.
