with a dirty-buff wash on foreneck and breast, while others are 

 darker below, with the wash less evident. The four Pulo Condore 

 birds resemble the latter. 



-f 8. Aegithina tiphia. 



Motacilla tiphia, Linn., Syst. Nat., i, 1766, p. 331 (Bengal). 



2 9. " Iris dull white, bill above blackish brown, below dull 

 white, legs pale blue". Total length, 145, 135. Wing, 60, 61 mm. 



There is nothing special to remark on these birds; they can 

 be exactly matched by others from An nam and other parts of the 

 Indo-Malayan region.

Pycnonotus finlaysoni, Strickland, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist, xiii, 

 1844, p. 411 (<? Malaysian Ids. Errore: substitute " Siam " ).

 brown." Total length, 6 200, 190, 192; 9 180, 192. Wing, 6 86, 

 83, 79; 9 76, 79 mm. 



The specimens are all in moult and the wing measurements 

 therefore are not reliable. 



This bulbul, which is characteristically Indo-Chinese, is very 

 constant is its colours and measurements, and in the very large 

 series before us, ranging from Malacca to Pulo Condore, we have 

 been unable to recognize any local differences whatever. The 

 present birds are rather bright, but this is entirely due to their being 

 in quite fresh feather. 



-f- 10. Mixornis rubricapilla condorensis Robinson, subsp. no v. 



The dullest form of the species ; pileum with the rufous tinge 

 duller and much reduced, general colour of the mantle more 

 olivaceous, less russet, external aspect of the wing very little 

 browner than, the mantle and back.
