515 



on the margins of the secondaries ; tail as in the male ; lores, feathers 

 round the eye, and a faint eyebrow isabelline ; ear-coverts pale ashy 

 brown, with a streak of black along the upper margin ; cheeks and 

 throat pale ochreous buff, separated from each other by a malar 

 line of black ; remainder of under surface of body pale sulphur- 

 yellow, with a few dusky streaks on the chest ; the sides of the body 

 and flanks ashy olive, broadly streaked with blackish brown. Total 

 length 4-5 inches, culmen 0-45, wing 2-65, tail 1*85, tarsus 0-7. 



Towng. Differs from the old female, which it generally resembles, 

 by its striped under surface, which is paler yellow than in the adults, 

 narrowly streaked with black on the throat, breast, and sides of the 

 body ; upper surface rufous-brown, streaked with black, the lower 

 back and rump more rufous than the back and streaked with black. 

 In general appearance the young bird resembles that of E. pusilla, 

 with which Mr. Seebohm identified the specimen described ; but it 

 may be recognized by its yellow under surface. 



Bab. Eastern Siberia and N. China ; doubtfully recorded from 

 Japan (cf. Blakiston, I.e.*)-, winters in Southern China, Cochin 

 China, Indo-Burmese countries, and South-eastern Himalayas.

 by Mr. Kinger; but it was apparently caught on board ship.
