Descriptive List of the Common Birds 



breast is separated from the abdomen by a 

 conspicuous band of black feathers known as 

 the collaret. There is a crimson patch of 

 feathers under the tail. 



20. Otocompsa emeria : The Bengal Red- 

 whiskered Bulbul. (F. 288), (J. 460), (11.) 



Found in Northern and Eastern India, and 

 Burma. (Illus. B. P., p. 230; also B. C, 

 p. 26.) 



21. Otocompsa fuscicaudata : The Southern 

 Red-whiskered Bulbul. (F. 289), (J. 460), (II.) 



Found chiefly in the south-western portion 

 of India, more especially in the hills. This is 

 the common bulbul of all our South-Indian 

 hill stations. 



This species is distinguishable from Emeria 

 in that it has a complete collaret. In Emeria 

 the black collaret is interrupted in front. 



Both the Molpastes and the Otocompsa bul- 

 buls build neat cup-shaped nests in trees and 

 shrubs in gardens. Not infrequently they 

 nest in plants growing in pots placed in the 

 verandah. (Illus. B. D., p. 296 ; also B. B., 



p. 87.) 



22. Pycnonotus luteolus : The White-browed 

 Bulbul. (F. 305), (J. 452), (-II.)
