Description. — Male and female. The whole upper plumage olive-brown 
with an ochraceous tinge, purer on the head and upper tail-coverts ; tail 
rufous-brown ; wings brown, the outer webs edged with the colour of the 
tail and the tertiaries wholly of this colour ; lores and round the eye 
greyish ; ear-coverts brown with pale shafts ; chin and throat white ; lower 
plumage fulvous-brown, albescent on the centre of the abdomen and 
turning to clear buff on the under tail-coverts. 
Legs and feet light pinkish brown ; upper mandible dark horny brown ; 
lower mandible plumbeous ; irides wood-brown. (Davison.) 
Length 8*5 inches, tail 3*8, wing 4, tarsus '75, bill from gape 1. The 
female is smaller. 
The Malayan White-throated Bulbul appears to be abundant in Tenas- 
serim from its southernmost point up to Mergui. Mr. Davison subsequently 
procured specimens between Tavoy and Nwalabo mountain, and Captain 
Bingham records a specimen which he shot near Moulmein. 
It extends down the Malay peninsula and is found in the islands of 
Sumatra and Borneo. 
Mr. Davison says : — This is eminently a forest Bulbul, never, that I 
am aware of, coming into gardens or clearings. In its voice and habits it 
resembles C. griseiceps, and is quite as noisy as that bird, if not more so, 
and like it goes about in small parties, though I have occasionally seen 
it in pairs or singly. This bird also never, I believe, descends to the 
ground.^^
