 The liandsome Black-headed Bulbul is tolerably common, 

 occurring iu the forests and feeding on berries.

The Ashy-fronted. Bulbul occurs plentifully along the 

 streams, feeding on insects, small fruits, and berries. 



Anuropsis cinereiceps. 



a. S ad. 



The Ashy-headed Wood-Babbler appears to be very rare. 

 I only saw the specimen obtained. It might be easily over- 

 looked, for it creeps about in dead brush and fallen tree- 

 tops which have become overgrown with grass. Had I not 

 been climbing through this tangle I should not have seen it. 

 There are six examples of this species in the National 

 Collection — five males and one female (Everett's type), 

 which latter, when compared with the males, seems to 

 differ slightly by being paler on the upper surface. 



Mixornis woodi. 



a, b, c, d, e. S ad. ; f, g. ? . 



The Palawan Tit-Babbler occurs in thick bush, and 

 appears to subsist entirely on insects. It is one of the 

 commonest birds and has a harsh note. 



Kittacincla nigra. 



a, b, c, d, e. S ad. ; /. ? ad. 



McGregor states that the adult male and female are alike.
