is made these hairs will be found, though they are short and not 
numerous. Although, therefore, somewhat aberrant, I retain it 
in the genus /ole. Sharpe retained the name Jzvocincla for the 
other species of /ole and placed [vocinela virescens of Blyth in the 
genus Hypsipetes (Microscelis) but in making both these changes 
he was, of course, quite incorrect.

Description. Upper plumage, with lesser wing-coverts, brownish 
green; greater coverts, wings and tail dark brown, the feathers 
edged with the colour of the back; ear-coverts brownish green 
with pale shafts; lores ashy-grey ; cheeks, chin, throat, breast 
and sides of the body ashy with broad greyish-white shaft-streaks, 
fainter on the last-named; abdomen, vent and under tail-coverts 
white; under wing-coverts and axillaries pale yellow. 
Colours of soft parts. Legs and feet pinkish brown to reddish 
brown; bill horny-brownor very dark horny-brown ; iris mahogany- 
brown to litharge-red (Hume § Davison). 
Measurements. Length about 230mm.; wing 109 to 115 mm.; 
tail about 90 to 95mm.; tarsus about 18mm.; culmen about 
18 to 20mm, 
Distribution. Peninsular Burma and Siam and Malay Peninsula. 
Birds from Cochin China seem identical, whilst those from the 
Southern Islands are perhaps separable. 
Nidification. Eggs and nest obtained by Mr. W. A. 'T. Kellow 
on the 17th June were like those of the next bird. The nest is a 
small cradle of twigs, leaves and grasses bound by cobwebs to, 
and interlaced around the twigs of a small forked branch of a bush. 
The two eggs are white with innumerable freckles of light yellowish- 
and ninkish-red and measure 2371 x 16°9 and 22°1 x 16-5 mm. 
Habits. Beyond Davison’s remarks to the effect that this 
Bulbul’s habits are similar to those of Hemivus m. tickelli, nothing 
has been recorded.
