I'oun;/. Differs from the adult in being more rufous, especially 

 on the wings, tail, and under tail-coverts, and in being more yellow

The Olive Bulbul occurs in the Malayan peninsula, Java, Sumatra, 

 and Borneo. It has not yet been met with in Tenasserim. 



In the British Museum is a specimen collected in the Philippine 

 Islands by Mr. Cuming, which is either this species or a closely allied 

 one ; but the colouring of the feathers has so faded from exposure 

 to the light that I cannot determine the bird for certain.
