TAHAN EXPEDITION. 



The browner, longer-tailed species, C. ochraceus, is an upland form 

 and very rarely occurs below 3,000 ft., while the shorter-tailed yellower 

 form, C. tephrogenys, does not ascend above that limit. The species, so 

 far as my experience goes, are never found together, and their habits 

 are quite different ; the lowland form being found in much thicker 

 jungle and being a much more retiring species than the mountain 

 bird. It is also very much rarer.
