about its habits, our collectors reporting that the specimens 
obtained were shot in secondary scrub on steep hillsides. It 
appears to be rare, as we can find no record of any specimens 
except the original series obtained by Miiller in 1833-5.

The habits of this bird are similar to those of the preced- 
ing species and like it, it seems equally rare in collections, 
Carl Bock having been the only collector who has secured it 
since S. Miller. We have followed Buttikofer in placing it 
with Alcurus rather than in Pycnonotus, from which it is at 
once separated by the type of coloration.
