3. CHLOROPSIS. 19 



Young birds appear to resemble the old females, but to be still 

 greener, the orange colour on the breast being contined to a pale 

 shade down the centre of the bodj- and on the under tail-coverts. 



The approach to maturity seems very gradual, and it is probable 

 that both sexes are alike in the earlier stages. Black-throated 

 specimens are in the Museum collection, which still retain the green 

 wings of the female dress. 



The Orange- bellied Green Bulbul is plentiful in the Himalayas 

 from 2000 to 4000 feet, and is found also in the hills of Assam, 

 Aracan, Burmah, and Tenasserim.
