In the- second Supplement to niy Catalogue of Indian Birds just published, I 

 have described; this Bird, which was brought me from the Eastern range of Ghauts dividing 

 Cuddapah from the Nellore district, by some excellent hill Shikarees to whom I am indebted 

 for more than one novelty. They describe it as frequenting the densest woods in elevated 

 valleys, and assert that it lives chiefly on fruit of various kinds. The name they apply to 

 it is Konda poda pigli, or hill bush bulbul, the name poda; pigli being always applied to Pyc~ 

 nonotiis Jlavirictus (my Tricophorus virescens). 



I have not seen specimens from any other part of the country.
