south of SiiiffJ^part', whic-li was s]u)t in company with a male agi-eeintr 

 in charactei's witli C. rnfigastra. The two males from Selaiigor have 

 slightly paler undersurfaces than the latter but the difference is only 

 trivial. There is not the slightest doubt therefore that C. rufigastra 

 and C. frenata are male and female of the same species and those 

 purists who reject Raffles' name as a vox hyhrida must adopt C. frenata 

 in preference to Sharpe's emendation, C. erythrogaater. 



This species, again, is strictly confined to the mangrove zone which 

 accounts for its comparative rarity in collections.

 Peninsula and tlie only specimen we posse.ss is one from Padang 

 Tuan, Segamat, Noi'tli Joliore. obtained by one of our Uyak co'lectors

The Crested Brown Bulbul is by no means a common bird in 

 the ]\Ialay Peninsula and is rarely found in large numbers. The 

 Fedei-ated Malay States Museums have specimens from Selama and 

 Parit in Perak, Tanjong Malim. Rawang and Cheras in Selangor, and 

 from the territory of Malacca. The species seems to be mainly an 

 inhabitant of low country jungle and is not found on the hills. The 

 only place wliei-e it has been found at all abundantly is RaAvang, 

 where numbers were attracte i by the fi-uiting of a species of fig tree 

 in July, 1912.

Three more specimens of this Bulbul were obtained at Padang 

 Sireh, Perlis-Senggora border, in November. They agree well with 

 the specimen mentioned by Mr. Kloss and render it more than 

 doubtful if P. robinsoni can be maintained even as a sub-species 

 distinct from P. hJanfordi.

Two more specimens, both males, were obtained at Rawang,

 the State.
