of Hongkong, Macao , and Canton. 39 
55. Pycnonotus occipitalis, Temm. Cantonese, u Pak- 
taou long.” 
An abundant resident. 
56. Pycnonotus chrysorrhoides (Lafr.). 
These are of a more roving disposition than the foregoing, and 
may often be met with in small parties on the hills, flying one 
after another from bush to bush. They have a loud chattering 
note, uttered while roving about; but the male at times, seated 
quietly on a branch, gives vent to a succession of sweet notes, 
some of which are very rich and full. I observed numbers of 
these Bulbuls, as well as the preceding, on the Tallow-tree (Stil- 
lingia sebifera), feeding on its ripe berries. 
57. Pycnonotus jocosus (Linn.). 
This is evidently the same bird as that found in Bengal, and 
is described as Turdus sinensis in Shawls ‘ Zoology,’ from a 
Chinese drawing. It is not found in either Hongkong or Macao, 
but is very abundant in the neighbourhood of Canton, where 
numbers of them were to be seen in April, springing about over 
the large red flowers of the gigantic leafless Bornbax malaba - 
ricum. They were at once to be distinguished by their peculiar 
voices ; but their lofty curled and pointed crests gave them a very 
marked appearance. 
58. Tchitrea principalis (Temm.). 
This bird I cannot help thinking is not T. principalis , but a 
distinct species *. A female that I sent home on a former 
occasion was pronounced by Mr. G. R. Gray to belong to the 
Japanese species, but the females in all the species I have seen 
assimilate in a most remarkable manner. The male I procured 
in Hongkong I enclose. This is the fourth male I have seen, 
all resembling one another, and differing from the description in 
the e Pauna Japonica/ The male in that work is thus described :— 
f Les plumes du ventre et les couvertures inferieures de la queue 
examples from the Philippines, as the bird described as O. acrorhynchus 
by Vigors (P.Z.S. 1831, p. 97) was from that locality.—P. L. S. 
* I consider this to be the true T. principalis, but I have no Japanese 
specimens for comparison.—P. L. S.
