410 AVIFAUNA OF CHOTA NAGPUE. 



BRACHYPODID^. 



130.— IxOS luteolus, Less. 1. virescens, Temm. 

 apud Tickell (425.) 



The White-browed Bush Bulbul was obtained just on our 

 limits by Colonel Tickell. It does not appear to have been met 

 with since. He says of it :— li Killed in woody and barren 

 country at Bamireah near Midnapur, appeared shy, silent and 

 solitary, and partakes of the nature of the Flycatchers and 

 Thrushes. It flew and settled about the lower parts of bushes 

 and thickets. Stomach contained berries and seeds/' 



131.— Pycnonotus (Rubigula) flaviventris, 



Tickell. Vanga apud Tickell. (456.) 



The Black-crested Yellow Bulbul is another bird obtained by 

 Tickell, but by no one since in Chota Nagpur. He says : — " Fre- 

 quented the beautiful hanging woods of Dampara in Dholbhum, 

 where alone I met with them." I have shot it at Punkabari 

 and in Rangoon, but have never seen it in Chota Nagpur. 



132— Otocompsa emeria, Shaw. (460.) 



I have occasionally found the Red-whiskered Bulbul in the 

 eastern parts of Manbhum, but it is decidedly rare even there, 

 and I do not remember having seen it in any other parts of the 

 Division. 



133.— Pycnonotus chrysorrhoides, Lafr. P. 



hcemorrhous Gm. apud Jerdon. (462.) 



The Common Madras Bulbul is the species generally met with. 

 I have, however, two specimens from Singhbhum which come 

 very near to pygmeeus ; seemingly they are intermediate. Some 

 of my Calcutta birds and one from Rangoon are thus too, not 

 distinctly referable to either species. Rajmehal specimens 

 appear to be pygmcem, while those from the Satpuras are 

 chrysorrkoides. 



134— Phyllornis Jerdoni, Blyth. (463.) 



The Common Green Bulbul occurs abundantly throughout 

 the Division. I have observed that it is especially fond of 

 the flowers of the parasitic Loranthm which grows on
