37. Phylloscopus coronatus (Temm. & Schleg.). 



This species is noticeable from having a faint line of yellow 

 on the crown, like a Regulus, and is probably the species described 

 under the above name in the ' Fauna Japonica.' It is sometimes 

 met with in small parties during spring. 



38. Reguloides proregulus (Pall.). {R. modestm, Gould; 

 R. inornatus, Blyth.) 



Winters here, and is of solitary habits. Identified by Mr. 

 Blyth, who remarks — " Common here (Calcutta) in the cold 

 season. When newly moulted, has a pale median line along 

 the crown. '^ 



39. Reguloides chloronotus, Hodgs. 



Identified by Mr. Blyth as the Himalayan species. Often 

 seen during winter here in pairs, going about from tree to tree 

 in search of insects. 



40. CopsYCHUS sAULARis (Linn.). 



A common resident. Native name, " Chuy-kam-chay." 



41. Pratincola indica, Blyth. 

 Winters here. 



42. RUTICILLA aurorea (Pall.). 



Winters here. A second species occurs, of which I have only 

 one female, and have therefore not been able to identify it. 



43. Nemura rufilata, Hodgs. 

 Winters here. 



44. ThAMNOBIA NIVEIVENTRIS, U. Sp. 



This is a lively Chat-like bird, but has a habit of jerking up 

 the tail like a robin and exhibiting the pure-white anal feathers. 

 Length 5*2, wing 2*8, tail 2"1, bill -25. Upper parts greyish 

 brown ; under parts greyish tinged with buff, especially on the 

 under wing-coverts. Lower belly and vent pure white. Wings 

 greyish brown, with broad buff tips to the secondary coverts, 

 forming a transverse bar across the wing; quills edged with 

 light buff brown, and most of them tipped whitish. Tail black, 

 the three outer feathers having the basal two-thirds white. Bill 

 and legs black. 



This species is a winter visitant, but not common here.
