Mr. E. C. Sruarr Baker described the following new 
subspecies of Bulbuls :— 
Molpastes hemorrhous pallida, subsp. nov. 
Nearest to M. h. hemorrhous, but very much paler both 
above and below. 
This form seems to inhabit the whole of continental India 
from latitude 18° on the East and 20° on the West and as 
far north ‘as Behar and Western Bengal on the east, and 
thence westwards through Bundelkund and the Rewah 
States, the southern portions of Rajputana, Cutch, and 
Khatiawar. 
I can find no name applicable to this bird. Turdus cafer 
Less.,is said to apply to a bird from the Cape of Good Hope. 
Turdus chrysoides Lafres.,is a bird from Macao, and Blyth’s 
Hematornis pusillus is from Madras, which is the same race 
as typical M. hemorrhous from Ceylon.

Criniger pallida grandis, subsp. nov. 
Differs from C. p. pallida in being much larger. The 
typical birds from Hainan have a wing varying in length 
from 98 to 105 mm., whilst the present subspecies has a 
wing between 114 and 119mm. Siam birds are some- 
what intermediate in size, with a wing between 102 and 
109 mm., but are in colour the same as typical C, p. pallida, 
whereas the present subspecies is both greener and darker 
below.
