THE MALACHITE-SHOULDERED GREEN BULBUL. 207 
The Orange-bellied Green Bulbul, aceording to Mr. Blyth, occurs in 
Arrakan. Capt. Wardlaw Ramsay procured it in the Tonghoo hills and 
in Karennee at elevations of from 3500 to 4000 feet. I have never myself 
seen it in Pegu. In Tenasserim it appears to be confined to Mooleyit 
mountain and its spurs, where, from the fact of Mr. Davison procuring 
five specimens, it would appear to be not uncommon. 
Out of Burmah it has been found in the hills of Eastern Bengal and 
Assam, and it extends along the Himalayan range to Nipal.

Description. — Male. The whole upper plumage, wing-coverts and ter- 
tiaries bright green ; a patch on the lesser wing-coverts malachite-green ; 
primaries and secondaries dark brown, broadly edged with bright green; 
tail green, the inner webs of all but the central pair of feathers brown 
towards the outer edge ; feathers above the nostrils, the lores and a line 
produced narrowly over the eye, the cheeks, chin and throat black ; ear- 
coverts and a band along the black of the throat on either side a paler green 
than the upper plumage ; a shorty narrow moustache cobalt ; lower plumage 
bright green. 
The female has no black on the throat; the chin and throat and a ring round 
the eye are bright yellow, and the moustachial streak is blue and indistinct. 
Young bii^ds resemble the female. 
Legs, feet and claws pale to dark plumbeous ; bill black ; base of lower 
mandible sometimes brown ; irides vary — brown, dark wood-brown, lake or 
crimson; eyelids blackish grey. [Davison.) 
Length 8*5 inches, tail 8, wing 3 '9, tarsus -75, bill from gape I'l. The 
female is of about the same size. 
The closely allied C. viridis or C. Javensis, Horsf., from Java, may be 
distinguished by the colour of the shoulder-patch, which is turquoise-blue. 
The Malachite- shouldered Green Bulbul is sparingly distributed through- 
out the central and southern portions of Tenasserim, its northern limit, 
according to Mr. Davison, being about Ye. 
It extends through the Malay peninsula to the islands of Sumatra and 
Borneo.
