The birds in TJpper Burma appear to belong to this species, but Major Godwin-
Austen remarks that the Munipur birds agree with those from Burma in the
possession of the Marquis of Tweedale, and he has separated these as M. subundulata.'
He considers the species to be allied to M. nisoria of Java.

shrubby jungle with long grass, and it was common at Sanda and Muangla in thick
hedgerows outside these towns, being rare on the grassy hill sides surrounding
Momien.
