The generic name should be written Phyllostrophus (cf. Sharpe, Cat.
B. Brit. Mus. vi, p. 116). By an oversight too it has been called
a “ Thrush ” instead of a Bulbul.

The editor expressed his doubts as to the number of species of
Pycnonotus to be recognized in South Africa. Since then Mr.
Gurney has distinguished P. layardi, and the editor in the
“ Catalogue of Birds ” admits three species as follows :
a, with no black cap.
a, with a red eyelid; underparts dark brown : the centre of the
abdomen only white . . . . . . capensis.
b, with a black eyelid ; underparts white, from the breast downwards ;
throat and chest brown . . . . . tricolor.
b, with a black cap.
c, eyelid black ; throat brown, only the chin black . layardi.
d, eyelid red ; throat black . . . . . nigricans.
The ranges of the species are as follows, and all notes on the habits of
the birds quoted by us, must be transferred accordingly.
