south of Singapare, which was shot in company with a male agreeing 
in characterswith Cvrufigastra. The two males from Selangor have 
slightly paler undersurfaces than the latter but the difference is only 
trivial. _Thereis.not the slightest doubt therefore that C. rufigastra 
and C. frenata are male and female of the same* species. and those 
purists-who reject Raffles’ name as a vox hybrida must adopt C. frenata 
in preference to: Sharpe’s emendation, C. erythrogaster. 
This species, again, is strictly confined to the mangrove zone which 
accounts for its comparative rarity in collections.

This handsome flycatcher is extremely rare in the Malay 
Peninsula and the only specimen we possess is one from Padang 
Tuan, Segamat, North Johore, obtained by one of ony. Dyak collectors 
on 19th February, 1911.

The Crested Brown Bulbul is by no means'a common bird in 
the Malay Peninsula and is rarely found in large numbers. |The 
Federated Malay States Museums have specimens from Selama and 
Parit in Perak, Tanjong Malim, Rawang and Cheras in Selangor, and 
from the territory of Malacca. The species seems to be mainly an 
inhabitant of low country jungle and is not found on the hills. The 
only place where it has. been found at all abundantly is Rawang, 
where numbers were attracte1 by the fruiting of a species of fig tree 
in July, 1912. 
PYCNONOTUS ROBINSONTI, Grant. 
Pycnonotus robinsoni, Grant; Kloss, Journ. Fed. Malay States 
Mus., iv., p. 238 (1911). 
Three more specimens of this Bulbul were obtained at Padang 
Sireh, Perlis-Senggora border, im November. They agree well with 
the specimen mentioned by Mr. Kloss and render it more than 
doubtful if P. robinsoni can be maintained even as a sub-species 
distinct from P. blanfordi. 
KENOPIA STRIATA (Bryth). 
Kenopia striata (Blyth) ; Kloss, tom. cit., p. 252. 
Two more specimens, both males, were obtained at. Rawang, 
Selangor, in July. The species has not hitherto been recorded from 
the State.
