 the Dehra Dhoon. I got specimens at Darjeeling.

The Green-winged Warbler. 



Descr. — Upper parts vivid olive-green, brightest on the margins 

 of the wings and tail-feathers ; lower parts albescent, tinged with 

 yellow ; crown dusky, mixed with green, with bright yellowish- 

 white supercilia, and coronal streak continued over the occiput, 

 the supercilia more yellowish anteriorly ; a broad pale yellow 

 wing band, formed by the tips of the great-coverts of the 

 secondaries ; and the smaller range of wing-coverts slightly tipped 

 with yellowish ; tibial plumes bright yellowish ; the margin of the 

 wing pure canary yellow. 



Bill dusky olive, yellow beneath ; irides brown ; legs dark 

 brown. Length 4 inches ; wing 2 ; tail If ; tarsus f ; bill at front 

 8 mill. 



This species most nearly resembles R. chloronotus, but is readily 

 distinguished by the ruinp being concolorous with the back. From 

 R. proregulns, it differs by being smaller, and brighter coloured. 



It was originally described from the Tenasserim Hills, but I ob- 

 tained it at Darjeeling, so it probably inhabits all the intervening 

 Hill ranees.
