FINLAYSON^S BULBUL

in which the feathers are. The above description is taken from a newly 
moulted bird. 
The legs^ feet and claws vary from very dark reddish or purplish brown 
to black ; the bill black ; irides brown to deep red-brown. (Davison.) 
Length 8*5 inches^ tail 4'2^wing 3-5, tarsus '85^ bill from gape '8. The 
female is rather smaller. 
BlytVs Bulbul is found in the hilly portions of Tenasserim as far south, 
according to Mr. Davison_, as a point halfway between Mooleyit and 
Paraduba. Capt. Wardlaw Ramsay procured it in theTonghoo hills and in 
Karennee at elevations from 2500 to 4000 feet^ and he states that it is very 
common in the Karin hills. In Tenasserim it does not appear to be found 
higher than 4500 feet elevation. 
I have never met with it in Pegu. Mr. Blyth records it from Arrakan ; 
Dr. Anderson procured it near Bhamo, and Col. Godwin-Austen in the 
Khasia hills. 
Nothing peculiar is noted of its habits. Mr. Davison states that it 
avoids the denser portions of the forest, and keeps to their outskirts or to 
scrub-jungle. He has never seen them descend to the ground or even into 
any very low brushwood.
