THE IWORLD'S BIRDS. 



IOI 



eaters, and build open nests in bushes ; their eggs are 

 often pink with red spots. Sometimes classed with 

 the Babblers, they are certainly nearly related to them 

 through some more or less intermediate forms, but in 

 general habits they are very different, since they fly 

 about much more and do not keep so much to cover. 



Outline of Bulbul. 



The Red-eared Bulbuls (Otocompsa emeria and jocosa) 

 are widely-spread in India and Burma. They are brown 

 above and white below, with a long black crest and 

 red patches on the cheeks and under the tail. The 

 Red-vented Bulbuls (Molpastes h&morrkous and allies) 

 are locally commoner ; they are dark in plumage, 

 with black heads, and crimson under the tail. The 

 common African species have this patch yellow.
