" Iris white, bill black or dark horn, feet pinkish brown." 

 [H.C.R. & C.B.K.] Agreeing well with other specimens from 

 the southern parts of the Peninsula in having the ear-coverts 

 entirely unstreaked therein differing from the more northern 

 form P. robinsoni, Ogilvie Grant. Wing 86-76 mm. 



There is considerable doubt as to the proper name to be 

 applied to this bulbul which can probably be divided into 

 numerous local races. Pending a general investigation of the 

 whole group we have adopted that generally used by English 

 authors.
