Adult. Similar to B. cifaniventris, hut a little larger; the grey on

 cheeks, and ear-coverts blackish. Total length 6-3 inches, culmen 

 0-55, wing 2-95, tail 2-45, tarsus 0-55.

 colouring of B. cyanivcntris differs in intensity, I doubt if the pre- 

 sent species will prove to be really diiferent from the Malaccan bird. 



The Bornean Grey-bellied Bulbul replaces the foregoing species 

 in the island of Borneo.
