' This species and the Magpie-Robin (Copsychus musicus) are, perhaps, the 

 commonest and most characteristic birds of the towns and villages throughout 

 the Malay Peninsula. It is quarrelsome and pugnacious in its habits, and is 

 almost invariably found in pairs. The note is a very unmusical crescendo 

 chuckle terminating abruptly. Malay name, MSrZbah.' 



71. Pycnonotus robinsoni, sp. nov. 

 This species is most nearly allied to P. cinereifrons, from Palawan, but 

 differs in lacking the grey markings on the forehead, which is uniform olive- 

 brown, much like the rest of the crown. From P.plumosus it is distinguished 

 by having more distinct white shaft-streaks to the feathers of the cheeks and 

 ear-coverts, the outer edges to the quills dull greenish, not olive -green, and 

 the middle of the breast and belly pale yellowish-white. In possessing the 

 two last characters the present species resembles P. cinereifrons.
