 1.53 iuches. "Bill brownish blach, pale at base of lower mandible; 

 feet dark brown; length, 4 inches." "In faded summer dress." 

 (W. E. B.) 



The first two specimens and the last I had classed as P. superciliosus, 

 not having any well authenticated specimens of the present si)ecies for 

 comparison, but Mr. Brooks has determined them to be i*. hnmii; the 

 April male is in good plumage and its identification was not difficult. 



85. PHYLLOPSEUSTES PROREGULUS (Pallas). 



Fenmle, adult, ^vestern Kashmir, July 3, 1891; 7,000 feet. 



Male, immature, north side of Pir Panjal range, Kashmir, August 22, 

 1891; 7,000 feet. 



Male, immature, Pir Panjal range, Kashmir, August 29, 1891 ; 9,000 

 feet, "tipper mandible black, lower one brown at base; feet brown; 

 under side of toes yellow." 



Male, immature, Pir Panjal range, Kashmir, August 29, 1891; 9,000 

 feet. "P. Immii as ftir as I can make out, and i)robably a young bird 

 of the year. It is not yellow enougli about the head for prore(jnlu.s, and 

 the wing ^formula' appears to me to be that of humii.^- (W. E. B.) 



Male, adult, Kaj Xag Mountains, Kashmir, April 17, 1892; 8,000 feet. 

 " Upper mandible black ; lower nmudible yellow ; feet dark fleshy brown,

Male, adult, Kaj Nag Mountains, Kashmir, April 23, 1892; 8,000 feet. 

 "Upper mandible black; lower mandible yellowish; feet fleshy brown,

Male, adult, Kaj Nag Mountains, Kashmir, April 23, 1892; 8,000 feet. 

 " Feet fleshy brown; length, 1 inches." 



Male, adult, Krishnagunga Valley, northwest Kashmir, May 5, 1893; 

 7,000 feet. " Feet fleshy brown, soles yellowish; length, 3g iuches." 



In the series of willow warblers sent to Mr. Brooks, I failed to inclose 

 more than one or two of the specimens of this species, and he labored 

 under the disadvantage of having no other specimens of P. proregulus 

 for comparison at the time he made the identification. He determined 

 one of the immature males to be P. humii, as noted above; but the speci- 

 men is in unsatisfactory condition, and not well made u^). The other 

 immature birds, collected at the same place, are easily referable to P. 

 proregulus ; so I think this specimen should also be placed here. It 

 seems almost too small for P. hnmii, and the rump is partly yellow; 

 the central crown-streak also appears to be too distinct for P. hnmii, 

 unless this feature is exaggerated in the young of that si)ecies. The 

 dullness of the yellow on the head mentioned by Mr. Brooks is prob- 

 ably on account of its immaturity.
