General colour of the upper parts russet-brown, inclining to olive ; 

 lores and behind the ej'o dark brown ; eye-stripe pale chestnut, very 

 indistinct ; wings and tail slightly darker than the back ; chin, 

 throat, and centre of belly nearly white, sliading into pale chestnut 

 on the breast, flanks, thighs, and under tail-coverts ; axillaries and 

 under wing-coverts bufilsh white, mottled with brown on the 

 shoulder ; inner margin of quills pale brown. Bill Phylloscopine, 

 upper mandible dark brown, under mandible pale horn-colour ; 

 rictal bristles obsolete. Wing short, blunt, and somewhat concaved ; 

 third, fourth, fifth, and sixth primaries nearly equal and longest ; 

 second primary equal to the secondaries, bastard primary half the 

 length of the second primaiy. Tail longer than the wing, outside 

 feathers 1 inch shorter than the longest. Legs, feet, and claws pale 

 brown. Length of wing 2-23 to 1-95 inches, tail 2-6 to 2-2, cubnen 

 0-51 to 0-5, tarsus 0-8 to 0-7. 



In some skins the brown of the upper parts is slightly more olive. 

 These may be winter plumage of adults or young. 



Po far as is known, the Brown Grass-Warbler is confined to the 

 Himalayas, having hitherto only been found in Nepal and Sikkim. 

 The skins which I'Abbe David obtained at Moupin appear to me to 

 be birds of the year of L. thoracica (Blyth).
