157. Salicaria tamariceti, Severtzoff, pp. GQ, 131. 

 Range. Same as No. 154. 



At page 131 Dr. Severtzofl" describes this bird as follows : — 

 " Bill large, broad, and like that of Hypolais ; middle rec- 

 triees \\"' longer than the outside ones; 1st primary longer 

 than the coverts, 3 = 4, these being the longest, 2 = 7, and 

 sometimes =6. Total length 5" 3"'-5" 5'", extent 7"-7" 3'", 

 wing 2" 4"'-2" 5'", tail 2"-2" 1'", culmen 4i'"-5"', tarsus 9"'.'^ 



158. Salicaria modesta, Severtzoff', pp. 66, 129. 

 Ratiye. Same as No. 154. 



At page 129 the following description is given : — " Bill 

 small, head large, legs long, tarsus covered with eight scu- 

 tellse, 1st primary rather longer than the coverts, 3 = 4, 2 = 7, 

 the 4th tail-feather the longest, the central one 1'" shorter. 

 In coloration similar to S. obsoleta, but the light eye-streak 

 passes 2'" beyond the eye.''

This bird is described (p. 130) as follows ;—" Bill slightly 

 larger than in S. gracilis ; outer tail-feather 3|"' shorter than 

 the central ones; 1st primary rather longer than the coverts, 

 3 = 4, 2 = 6." Lighter in colour than 8. gracilis. 



160. Hypolais caligata (Licht.). 



Salicaria scita, Eversm. ; Severtzoff, pp. 66, 130. 



Horizontal range. Breeds rarely in districts III. and IV. 



Vertical range. Breeds in districts 2 and 3, rarely in the 

 former. 



Dr. Severtzoff's specimens, labelled S. scita, are, I find, 

 vmdoubtedly referable to H. caligata ; so I do not translate 

 his description ; but at page 130 he describes a subspecies 

 under the name of Salicaria scitopsis as follows : — " Smaller 

 than S. scita ; bill thinner ; tail shorter, the 4th rectrix the
