This large series of Woosnam's Bulbul shows great varia- 

 tion ill the size of the bill and colour of the underside, and 

 some specimens are hardly distinguishable from B. syn- 

 dactyla. Young birds collected in September show rusty 

 mottlings on the mantle ; the upper secondaries are strongly 

 Avashed and tipped with rusty ; the secondary coverts are 

 rusty with pale terminal spots ; the rump washed with rusty 

 red, and the under surface not so bright as in adult males. 

 The feet are yellowish horn, as is also the bill, except at the 

 base, where it is greyish. In two specimens the breast has 

 several rusty-coloured feathers.

 wing-coverts, inner webs of primaries, and secondaries
