Autinnn plumage. Similar to the spring plumage in minor details, 

 the upper parts very slightly darker in shade, and the underparts 

 a somewhat deeper yellow. 



Winter jj^^mage. Similar to the autumn plumage, but with the 

 wing-bar more or less lost by abrasion, and the pale tips to the 

 quills seldom remaining. 



So far as is known, the Green Willow-Warbler has a very re- 

 stricted range, probably breeding in the north-western Himalayas, 

 and wintering in Bengal, Southern India, and Ceylon. An accidental 

 straggler has been shot on Heligoland.
