No. 362. LocusTELLA STRAMiNEA. Turkestun Grasshopper- 

 Warbler. 



According to the late Mr. George Reid, this Warbler 

 frequents the grass and tamarisk-jungle of the Gogra near 

 Byramghat, and similar low-lying grass-land on the banks of 

 the Ganges_, Goomti_, and Sail, but is numerically rare and 

 difficult to procure. 



Mr. Reid writes : — " The only specimen I have, I captured 

 alive after a good deal of trouble in trying to get a fairly 

 distant shot at it. I had already blown two to pieces^ when 

 I saw the bird suddenly sneak into a small patch of ' doob ' 

 grass, and rushing up I caught it between the rooting 

 runners of. the grass and the ground, so tightly squeezed in 

 that I had some difficulty in getting it out." 



No. 363. "^AcRocEPHALUs sTENTOREus. Indian Great 

 Reed-Warbler. 



Evidently not uncommon in the jheel district near Ajgaen, 

 whence the Museum collector has obtained several specimens. 

 Not improbably it has been overlooked. I think that it 

 departs after the cold weather, but I am not sure.
