The specimen sent is the same size as pygmmis with the 

 same conspicuous brown ear-coverts, but it has the entire breast 

 brown, and the black of the head does not descend below the 

 occiput, and it is therefore truly intermediate between the 

 Bengal and Madras bulbuls.

 scribed S. F. III. 127.)
