bright yellow with adefiiiile iiiari^iii at the sides (coutiiiuiiig the line of the 
lower iiiaiulihle) and below. Hreast olive with a distinct grey wash, 
abdomen olivaceous, giey between the legs ; under tail-coverts yellowish 
buff. Bill black with a small horn-coloured lip ; feet greenish-grey, palmar 
surfaces of toes olive yellow ; ii i;les, p;de sepia brown. Length, 9 inches. 
These birds (if they are this s])ecies) are not common here, but are 
to be met with locally at most seasons in small parties of half a dozen or 
less in thick bush, showing a marked prefeience for the denser and darker 
parts, where they systematically hunt for insects among the thick scrub. 
They probably also eat a cei tain amount of wild fruit and berries. 
C. baibalwi. 
C. olivateiis. YELLOW-THROATKD BULBUL. 
Range of the two species. Seuegandjia to Gold Coast. (H.L.) 
C. gracilirosltis. KR.ASER'.S BUI-BUI,. 
Range. Seneganibia to Gaboon. (H.L.) 
Three Bulbuls moie or less like C. flavicollis, whose known range 
includes the Gambia, but which I have never yet to my knowledge seen. 
Pyn hitrus scandens. 
Range. Seneganibia to Gold Coast. (H.L.) 
A Bulbul with olive-brown upper parts, grey head and brownish 
yellow under surface, which I believe I occasionally see in the compara- 
tively dense bush in parts of Hogni. 
Tutdus pelios. .AKTHIOPIAN THRUSH. 
Range. Nortii-Easl, I^quatorial and West Afiica. (H.L.) 
A Thrush about the size of our Song-Thrush, a uniform dull olive 
brown above, pale huffish brown below shading into almost white on the 
belly and pale chestnut on the flanks. Bill yelhjw, sexes alike. 
7'. cryptopxrrha. SEN I<;GA M BIAN THRUSH. 
Range. Seneganibia. (H.L.) 
Very similar to T. pelios, but is larger and has pale gre) isli-bi own, 
not chestnut flanks 
Both oi- one of these species are probably fairly common in the 
Gambia, though I have never been able to actually identify them, but the 
following notes made at different times on the Thrushes I have seen almost 
certainly refer to one or other of them, and on many other occasions I have 
come across the same birds. 
June, 1902: '• A Thrush somewhat like our I'^iiglish bird (or rather 
more like a dusty hen Blackbird) frequents Government House garden, 
Bathurst, liopping about on the ground, looking for worms on the poor 
attempt at a lawn there." 
Jan., 1904 : " At Dtiniajo a Grey Thrush is common ; the same size as 
ours, but slimmer ; appeals to be almost wholly a uniform ash-grey. Saw 
another like this at Laniin Koto, .April, 1909."
