Habits. Davison says that it is a noisy but shy bird, avoiding 
observation. ‘ Not by any means uncommon, occurring in small 
flocks of twenty or more, and keeping entirely, so far as I have 
observed, to the forest, especially to the ravines where this is 
densest.” 
Genus IANTHOCINCLA Gould, 1835. 
Oates applied the generic term Janthocincla to those Laughing- 
Thrushes which have no bristles at the base of the forehead, but 
in which the nostrils are overhung by a few long hairs. The 
genus differs in no other respect from Garrulax, and the division 
is perhaps hardly necessary, but it is convenient for students and 
may therefore be retained. All the species are remarkable for 
having the secondaries tipped with white and the bill is rather 
narrow.
