The three specimens from Mongtse are in very poor condition. The rnrap- 

 band is hardly per;;eptible lin one example it appears to be wanting altogether). 

 This may perhaps be due to the "inake-np" of the skins or to the birds being 

 in moult. 



Rilipon's skins from Western Yunnan are very grey bird.s (but have a jiro- 

 nounced rump-band), and taking an average they appear to be rather large. 

 (The wing measurements, however, in the genus PhifUoscnptis are always liable to 

 variation.) Unfortunately, although the British Museum contains a large series 

 of P. p. newtoni (whose wing-formula resembles that of the Yunnan birds), hardly 

 any of the specimens have been procured in the corresponding spring months. 



Pallas' Willow-Warbler was also obtained in Yunnan by Prince Henry of 

 Orleans (Onstalet).
