394 PYCNONOTID®. 
Description. Differs from the last bird in being darker, especi- 
ally in the grey cf the breast and the vellow, which is confined to 
the lower breast in flavescens, extends well on to the upper breast 
and even to the throat. In tint also, perhaps in contrast with 
the darker grey, it is brighter and more vivid. 
Colours of soft parts. The legs are more tinged with brown 
than in the last bird. 
Measurements. Wing measurements 80 to 89 min. (79 Kloss, 
Anna). 
Distribution. Kachin Hills, Shan States, Karenni and S.B. 
Burma into the Malay States. 
Nidification differs in no way from that of the last bird. In 
the Kachin Hills it breeds between 4,000 and 6,000 feet in 
forests, generally on the outskirts. Ten eggs measure about 
23°1x 16-0 mm. Hopwood and Grant took its eggs in March, 
April and May. 
Habits. Those of the last bird. 
Genus OTOCOMPSA Cabanis, 1851. = 
The Bulbuls of this genus are very close indeed to Molpastes 
but the feathers forming the crest spring from the centre of the 
crown, the feathers of the hind crown being short and of the usual 
character. In our Indian forms the crest is very long but in the 
Burmese forms less conspicuously so and in O. flaviventris johnstone 
from East Siam it is quite short. 
From the next genus, Pinarocichla, it is easily distinguished by 
its soft plumage on the lower back and rump.
