pleasing " rippling " song which it utters chiefly at dawn, and which is unlike 

 the notes or song of any other bulbul that I have met with. 



299. Pyc. FINLA.YSONI.— Finlayson's Stripe-throated Bulbul. 

 Common in Malacca where I noticed a pair building in February, but not 

 often seen in Singapore. 



307. Pyc. plumosus.— The Large Olive Bulbul. 

 Common on the outskirts of the jungles. 



308. Pyc. siMPLEx.^-Moore's Olive Bulbul. 



Common. I found it breeding during May ; nest and eggs of the usual 

 Bulbul type. 



310. Micro pus melanocephalus.— The Black-headed Bulbul. 

 Though common on the mainland, it is by no means so on the island. 



364. Acrocephalus ORIENTALS. — The Eastern Great Reed-warbler. 

 Not common. 



374. Orthotonus sutorics.— The Indian Tailor-bird. 

 Very common everywhere. 



375. Orth. atrigularis. — The Black-necked Tailor-bird. 

 Rare. 



376. Orth. rcficeps — The Red-headed Tailor-bird. 

 Rare. 



381. Cistxc )LA cursitans.— The Rufous Fan-tailed Warbler. 

 Common in the swamps. 



463. Prinia flaviventris. — The Yellow-bellied Wren-Warbler.

 Fairly common on the mainland ; somewhat rare on the island. 



503. Pericrocotus cinereus. — The Ashy Minivet. 

 A winter visitor I believe. I only saw it on two occasions, both during the 

 winter months, and on both occasions it was in a small flock of a dozen or so, 

 flitting from tree to tree at a rapid rate and keeping high up amongst the 

 topmost branches ; I was only able to shoot one specimen before the flock had 

 vanished out of sight. 



509. Campophaga terat.— The Pied Cuckoo Shrike. 

 A very common winter visitor. 



514. Oriolus indicus.— The Black naped Oriole. 

 A rare visitor.
