Loi-Sau-Pca 6000 ft. and upwards. Notwithstanding the peculiar 

 shape of its head and bill, in habits and voice it is a true Bulbul. Pro- 

 cured also by Mr. Thompson on the Salween-Mekong watershed at 

 7000 ft., and on the Meuetaung borders of Upper Burma at 6000 ft. 



I also got specimens at Bernardmyo 7000 ft. (C.T.B.).

 Faun. Brit. Ind., Birds, I, p. 284. 



Mong Kong and Yatsauk States at about 3000 ft. elevation. Two 

 specimens procured answer, so far as plumage goes, fairly well to Oates' 

 description (lac. cit.) and to Tenasserim specimens in the Indian Museum, 

 but the Southern Shan States' bird seems conspicuously larger, and may 

 hereafter be separated. Measurements taken in the flesh. Length 7*8", 

 Wing 3 7", Tail 3-4", Tarsus 0*7", Bill from gape 06". Bill horny- 

 brown, lighter at the base of the lower mandible; legs and feet fleshy- 

 brown ; iris dark grey.

 watershed. (H.N.T.) It was not uncommon at Kyatpyin 4500 ft. in 

 the Ruby Mines District, in April. (C.T.B.)
