~» PYCNONOTUS SIMPLEX HALIZONUS, new subspecies. 
Subspecific characters.—Like Pycnonotus simplex olivaceus, from the 
Malay Peninsula, but decidedly larger; lower parts lighter, brighter, 
and less tinged with brownish (more grayish). 
Description.—Type, adult female, No. 171080, U.S.N.M.; Pulo 
Jimaja, Anamba Islands, September 22, 1899; Dr. W. L. Abbott. 
Upper surface dark olive brown, with a slight tinge of greenish, the 
upper tail-coverts sepia; wings and tail between clove brown and 
sepia, the wing-quills and their upper coverts edged externally with 
sepia; sides of head, together with neck and breast, olive brown, the 
shafts of auriculars a little paler; lower surface pale yellowish white, 
the sides and flanks light olive brown, the breast and jugulum heavily 
washed with the same color; lining of wing yellowish white; thighs 
light olive brown tinged with yellow; ‘‘iris white; bill horn brown, pale 
beneath at base; feet fleshy brown.”
