Descri]_)tive List of Birds 



53. Cryftolopha jerdoni : Brooks's Grey- 

 headed Flycatcher-warbler. F. 435, J. 572, —I. 

 E. 



This Is the eastern form of Hodgson's species. 

 It differs from this in that the head, except for 

 the median grey band, is dark grey, almost 

 black, and the rest of the upper plumage is 

 greyish- brown instead of olive-green. 



This species occurs at Darjeeling. 



54. Suya crinigera : The Brown Hill- 

 warbler. F. 458, J. 547, -H. E. W. K. 



There is nothing distinctive about the 

 colouring of this bird. The upper plumage 

 is dark brown, each feather having an olive- 

 green margin. Cheeks dark brown. Lower 

 parts pale ruddy yellow, with faint brown 

 markings on the breast. 



It seeks its food on the ground, but some- 

 times perches on the summit of long grass or 

 other point of vantage and utters a rasping 

 call, hke the noise made by a saw. 



Fairly common at Simla, but rare in the 

 Eastern Himalayas. It is said to be fairly 

 common on the lower ranges of Kashmir. 

 I have not had the opportunity of testing this 

 statement.
