During the Expedition I only liad the opportunity of observing this Bnlbul 

 in the dense primeval evergreen forests in Northern Siam as at Bång Hue Hom and 

 Kao Plyng biit at both these places it was by no means rare though rather shy. 

 Like other Bulbuls they were mostly seen in small flocks. 



19. Criniger henrici Oust. — Fairly common in the bamboo- and evergreen 

 forests in Northern Siam. They generally occurred in flocks of about a dozen indi- 

 viduals. I quite failed to observe it in the dry forests either in the Central or in 

 the Northern parts of the country, wliy it seems only to belong to the bird fauna 

 in the more hilly and well-wooded parts of Siam.
