This l)ird was found to be very aliundant in di-y bamboo 

 Jungle at Tai)li, flying in flocks of five or six individuals and, as 

 Davison notes, not at all easy to alarm. At Tasan in deeper, more 

 evergreen, jungle it was much rarei-, and at other places we did not 

 come across it at all. 



Davison did not collect it on the Pakchan, nor did Gates's 

 collectors, so that the present .series is a considtMablf oxtensidii of 

 range for the form.
