ally in the Indian Siphia pallidipes (Jerd.). Both sexes 

 are, however, easily distinguished by the following cha- 

 racters : — 



Adult male. Like the male of S. pallidipes, but the sides 

 and flanks are fawn-coloured instead of pure white. 



Adult female. Even more different from the female of 

 S. pallidipes : — the lores are rust-coloured instead of white, 

 and a short superciliary band of the same colour reaches as 

 far as the eye, above this there is a line of pale blue feathers, 

 confluent across the forehead ; the basal part of the outer 

 webs of the tail-feathers washed with pale blue instead of 

 reddish chestnut. Sides of the face dark brown, shading 

 gradually into the rust-coloured throat, whereas in the female 

 of S. pallidipes the sides of the head are grey, and sharply 

 defined from the bright rust-coloured throat. 



Adult male. Total length 60 inches, culmen OT, wing 3"1, 

 tail 2'5*, tarsus 0'85. 



Adult female. Total length 5-3 inches, culmen 0*65, wing 

 2-9, tail 2 15, tarsus 0-73.

p. ii (1895). 



The Red-eared Bulbul from Fuga Island adds a fourth 

 species to the brown-plumaged section of the genus Hyp- 

 sipetes, of which H. amaurotis (Temm ) from Japan is typical, 

 while H. squamiceps (Kittl.) inhabits the island of Bonin, 

 and H. pryeri, Stejneger, has more recently been described 

 from the Loo Choo Islands. 



Adult male and female. Most nearly allied to H. squamiceps 

 and H. pryeri, having the chestnut ear-coverts united by a
