According to Messrs. Hume and Davison this species is " confined apparently in Tenasserim 

 to the higher portions of Mooleyit and Karennee." 



" I only observed this species," writes Mr. Davison, " on the higher slopes of Mooleyit, not 

 below 3000 feet elevation. It is a forest bird, frequenting flowering trees, with much the same 

 habits as JE. cava, not nearly so shy as JE. dabryi, and much more given to settling quietly. 

 Where I met with it it was moderately common."
