97. Micropus melanocephalus (Gm.). 
98. Criniger ph^ocephalus (Hartl.). 
99. Criniger ruficrissus, Sharpe. 
[Bill black, lower mandible bluish white ; feet pinkish brown ; iris light brown. On Ivina Balu, to 
which mountain this species appears to be confined, it is only found in the lower valleys at about 3000 
feet, among the tropical forest-growth. It is generally seen searching about high up in the trees, and 
has a loud disagreeable note, but at times whistles prettily.] 
100. Tricholestes criniger (Blyth). 
101. Trachycomus ochrocephalus (Gm.). 
[This bird ascends Kina Balu to about 1000 feet.] 
102. Pycnonotus analis (Horsf.). 
[One of the commoner birds of the Malayan region. It ascends Kina Balu only to about 1000 feet. 
These Bulbuls are seen in Labuan towards evening in swarms going through the mango-trees, where they 
roost in large flocks ; at this time they are very noisy. They are common enough also on Kina Balu at 
a low elevation, and I have known a Dusun boy to go out of an evening and catch three or four with his 
u gutta ” stick. It nests on the mountain. 
The eggs are of the usual Bulbul type, with the ground-colour pinkish white, thickly mottled with red 
spots and underlying grey markings. The shape varies a good deal. Axis O83-P0 inch, diam. 065-07.] 
103. Pycnonotus simples, Less. 
[Ascends Kina Balu up to about 1000 or 1500 feet. I also shot one in Malacca, which had a white 
iris, like the specimen figured by Dr. Sharpe in the ‘ Catalogue of Birds/] 
104. Eubigula montis, Sharpe. 
[Iris dark brown ; bill and feet black. Only met with on Kina Balu at 3000 feet, frequenting the 
rough growth which springs up on the old rice-fields. It is decidedly scarce.]
