 V. ocJiraceus of Moore, from Tenasserim, is a smaller race, as already 

 pointed out by Lord Tweeddale ; but from the measurements giveu 

 by Mr. Hume (Str. F. 1878, p. 301) it is evident that some indi- 

 viduals of C. ochraceus are equal to those of true C. gittturalis. 



The Malayan 'W'hite-throated Bulbul is an inhabitant of the 

 forests of Sumatra, Borneo, and the Malayan peninsula, ranging 

 into the evergreen forests of the extreme southern division of Tenas- 

 serim,
