204 BIRDS OF INDIA. 



This Warbler lias been found in Nephl and Sikliim. I observed 

 it near Darjeeling, less common than either of the last two, fre- 

 quenting high trees ; and also in the Khasia Hills in the summer' 

 so it probably breeds there. 



576. Abrornis affinis, Hodgson. 

 Moore. P. Z. S., 1854— Horsf., Cat. 536. 



The Allied Warbler. 



Descr. — 'Very close to A. poHorjenys ; differs in having the lores, 

 base of lower mandible, lower portion of the ear-coverts, chin, 

 and throat, the same bright yellow as the rest of the under 

 parts ; the feathers of the crown are pale-shafted, which does 

 not appear iti the last ; the tail is pale dusky, the two outer 

 feathers only being white on portion of the inner web, the 

 basal part of which is dusky ; the outer web in both is pale 

 dusky green ; the other ten are fringed with greenish on the 

 outer web. The wing is \ inch longer than in poliogenys, but 

 similarly marked ; the tarsus also is ^^V inch longer. The bill in 

 this species and in poliogenys is broader than in A, xanthoscJdstos.'' 



This nearly allied species has hitherto been only found in 

 Nepal, or perhaps in Sikhim, whence, as before noticed, many of 

 Hodgson's last specimens were sent. 



The next two birds have chesnut heads. 



577. Abrornis albogularis, Hodgson. 



Moore, P. Z. S., 1854 — Horsf., Cat. 534 — A. albiventris,

 yellov.'ish ; wings dusky black, margined with yellow-green ; t;iil
