402 A TENTATIVE CATALOGUE OF THE BIRDS OF 



450— Criniger ictericus, Strickl. The Yellow- 

 browed Bulbul. 



Permanent resident. Locally not uncommon along the 

 Sahyadri range as far north as Mahableshwar. Mr. Vidal says, 

 " plentiful at Bavda at tlie foot of the hills in Ratnagiri in the 

 Rajapur sub-division," and Mr. Fairbank remarks that it is 

 " abundant along the Goa frontier." He also obtained it at 

 Mahableshwar, and Mr. Laird met with it on the hills west of 

 Belgaum, and Mr. Crawford at Savantvadi. 



452. — Ixus luteolus, Less. The SVhite-browed Bush- 

 Bulbul. 



Permanent resident. Not uncommon in some localities. Mr. 

 Fairbank met with it along the Ghatprabha river, 20 miles north 

 of Belgaum, Mr. Laird got it west of Belgaum, and Mr. Vidal 

 also procured it in Ratnagiri at Vijaydurg, near the coast, and 

 it occurs also in Bombay. It appears to be a very local species, 

 and, as Mr. Vidal remarks, to avoid the Ghat range, being 

 absent altogether in most districts throughout the region. 



455.— -Rubigula gularis, Gould. The Ruby-throat- 

 ed Bulbul. 



Rare. Mr. Laird obtained it in the forest south-west of 

 Belgaum. I have no other record of its occurrence through- 

 out the region. 



457.— Brachypodius pyocephalus, Jerd. The Grey- 

 headed Bulbul. 



Permanent resident. A purely forest species ; in some few 

 localities not uncommon. Obtained iu the forests south-west 

 of Belgaum by Mr. Laird. No other record of its occurrence 

 throujrhout the region. 



460 5*5. — Otocompsa fuscicaudata, Gould. The 

 Southern Red-whiskered Bulbul. 



Permanent resident. Common all along the Sahyadri range, 

 and in the adjacent forests from Goa to Khandala. I observed 

 it occasionally at Satara, but it does not, as a rule, stray far 

 from the Ghats. 



462.— Molpastes haemorrhous, Gm. The Common 

 Madras Bulbul. 



Permanent resident. Common throughout the region.
