At the Cocoa Research Station this species was common and inhabited
the cocoa and surrounding secondary forest. I found it to be common
12 miles north of Kalabakan.
_=Criniger ochraceous ruficrissus=_ Sharpe: Brown White-throated
Bulbul.--_Specimens_, 5: 5.5 mi. SW Tenom: [Female], December 21, 1962,
MCT 3489; [Male] testis 3 x 2 mm., December 21, 1962, MCT 3490; [Male]
testis 4 x 3 mm., December 21, 1962, MCT 3491; [Female], December 23,

This bird was seen only in the moss forest above Tenom. It was not
taken in nets the first four days they were erected, nor did we see
individuals in the forest. Then, on December 21, three were taken
in widely separated nets, and the species was then seen nearly
every day for a week. Such sporadic and unpredictable local
occurrences may indicate wide separation of the loosely-organized
foraging groups of this species. The call is a harsh, jaylike note.
