Certainly the most common Bulbul in the open hill-forests of Northern Siam. 
Sometimes I even found it in the pine-forests, which cover the highest slopes of the moun- 
tains in the North.

mm; T = 80 mm.; C = 14 mm. — Irides: brown. Bill: black. Legs: plumbeous. 
Rather common in the evergreen forests both in Northern Siam and in the Peninsula. 
In the deciduous forests I never observed this Bulbul, which probably only inhabits 
countries where there are evergreen jungles. 
It has a pleasant note which is frequently heard. As regards to the yellow tips 
of the tail-feathers these only are to be found on the outermost pair; the lores are not 
quite black but mixed with some yellow feathers; the lower rump is of about the same 
colour as the upper tail-coverts viz. ochraceous green. 
My observations of this species are quite opposite to those made by Davison in 
Tenasserim. He found this Bulbul common in the plains, in the outskirts of forests and 
in scrub-jungle, sometimes even in gardens and compounds. Jn such places I, however, 
never found it but the related Pycnonotus blanfordi, JERD. 
124. Pycnonotus blanfordi. Jerp. — Blanford’s Bulbul.

— Irides: black. Bill: black. Legs: brownish black. 
Very common in open, cultivated country and in gardens and scrub-jungles. 
In the real evergreen forests it was never met with, but it was sparingly distributed in 
the mountain forests. 
It has a harsh note, and is easy to obtain or observe because it is quite tame.
