Romblon (Bourns & Worcester, McGregor); Tablas (Bourns & Worcester, 
Celestino) . 
Adult.—Entire top of head slate-gray, bases of the feathers olive- 
brown, the shafts nearly black; chin and throat white, streaked with 
pale yellow; otherwise very similar to Jole siquijorensis. A male . 
measures: Wing, 126; tail, 115; culmen from base, 32; bill from nostril, 
21; tarsus, 22. A female, wing, 122; tail, 111; culmen from base, 30; 
bill from nostril, 19; tarsus, 24. ; ; 
“The ashy-headed bulbul occurs in the open, but is far more abundant 
in the woods. Kleven males from Romblon measure: Length, 288; wing, 
131; tail, 115; culmen, 35;.tarsus, 22; middle toe with claw, 26. Four 
females from the same locality, length, 274; wing, 122; tail, 109; culmen, 
33; tarsus, 22; middle toe with claw, 25. Males and females from 
Tablas average slightly less in length, but are otherwise identical with 
Romblon birds. Iris, legs, feet, and nails very dark brown; bill black.”

Cebu (Bourns & Worcester, McGregor). 
Adult.—Very similar to Jole siquijorensis but smaller; top of head 
lighter seal-brown; forehead washed with slate-gray; mantle and back 
more ruddy ; ear-coverts tawny; chin and fore throat almost solid white. 
A male measures: Wing, 127; tail, 117; culmen from base, 32; bill from 
nostril, 21; tarsus,. 22. 
“Tole monticola differs from ole siquijorensis, its nearest ally, in its 
more ruddy upper surface, its lighter head with a wash of ashy gray 
on front of crown, in its lighter ear-coverts and tawny throat, and in its 
lighter under wing- and tail-coverts. So far as our observation goes it 
is a highland form. It was invariably met with by us in the forest on 
the tops and sides of the hills in central Cebu and was never seen in open 
or flat country.” (Bourns and Worcester.) 
“Three males average: Length, 267; wing, 121; tail, 111; culmen, 
31; tarsus, 22; middle toe with claw, 24. A female measures, 260 in
