3. CHLOEOPSIS. 21 



iris dark brown " ( Wardlaiu Ramsai/) ; " bill black ; inside of mouth 

 bluish <j!;ve\ ; eyelids dark browu ; legs and feet plumbeous ; claws 

 horny " ( Oatcs) ; " legs and feet greenish plumbeous ; bill black ; 

 iridos deep brown or hazel-brown " {Davison). Total length 7"5 

 inches, culmen O'D, wing 3'S5, tail 2-8, tarsus 0"75. 



Aihih female. Similar in colouring to the male, the orange gorget 

 slightly less vivid ; as, however, some specimens marked " male '' 

 also have a pale gorget, it may be that the richness of colour of the 

 latter depends upon age, and not upon sex. 



The following are the dimensions of a pair of birds in Lieut. 

 Wardluw Kamsay's collection : —

These specimens are considerably smaller than the liepalese bird 

 described in full above, but I can see no difference in plumage. 

 Mr. HuTue (Str. F. 1873, vol. i. p. 326) also calls attention to the 

 smaller size of Tenasserim birds as compared with Himalayan ex- 

 amples, which latter he also states are brighter coloured. 



The Gold-fronted Green Bnlbul is found in the sub-Himalayan 

 region from Dehra Doon to Sikhim, extending into Lower Bengal. 

 It also occurs through Aracan, Assam, and Burmab, to Tenasserim 

 and Cambodia (Harmand ; Mus. Paris), while the original specimens 

 were described from Pallcmberg in Sumatra. The types, however, 

 in the Leiden Museum are now marked '• India," showing that the 

 authorities of that institution must have become convinced that 

 some mistake had taken place with regard to the locality of the 

 specimens in question, which ai'e precisely like Indian ones. The 

 occurence of the species in Sumatra is very doubtful.
