Hab. Hildebrandt's Brown- eared Bulbul occurs throughout the hills of 

 Northern Tenasserim from the Karin Hills north of Tounghoo to close to 

 Pahpoon. Gates says it was procured by Davison in the pine forests of the 

 Salween districts in Tenasserim at an elevation of 300 feet. Captain Ramsay's 

 specimens are from further north. Nothing has been noted about its habits.
