80 Mr. H. Seebohm on the Phylloscopi 



brown, with the outside edge of each feather broadly 

 margined with yellowish green. Superciliary streak, 

 extending to the nape. 



Head darker colour than the back, with a distinct pale mesial 

 line. 



Underparts nearly white, slightly dashed with yellow and 

 grey on the breast and flanks. Axillaries, wing-lining, 

 and thighs pale yellow. Under tail-coverts pale yellow. 



Third and fourth primaries longest. Fifth a shade shorter. 

 Sixth considerably shorter. Second a shade shorter than 

 the sixth. Seventh considerably shorter than the second. 



Bastard primary small, the exposed part about "5 to "55. 



First wing-bar distinct. Second sometimes wanting. 



Length of wing — male 2"55 to 2*4, female 2*4 to 2'25. 



Length of tail — male 2 to r9, female r9 to 1"8. 



Legs and claws light brown. 



This species seems to be the most easterly in its range of 

 any of the genus. It is common in summer in Japan [Capt. 

 Blakiston, Ibis, 1862, p. 317; Whitely, Ibis, 1867, p. 197). 

 On the continent it has been found near the river Ussuri, 

 lat. 48° (in Mus. von Homeyer). Swinhoe obtained it in 

 North China from Peking (Ibis, 1863, p. 93) probably on 

 migration. He also found it during the spring migration at 

 Amoy (Ibis, 1860, p. 54), and again on the Island of Formosa 

 (Ibis, 1863, p. 307), also probably during migration. In 

 winter this species has been obtained in Java (in Stockholm 

 Mus. fide Meves) and at Malacca {Maingay in Mus. Lord 

 Tweeddale. 



I have been unable to obtain any information respecting 

 the nidification of this bird. 



This species is easily distinguishable from any of its near 

 allies by its comparatively long second primary, and by the 

 yellowness of the under tail-coverts compared with the rest 

 of the underparts.
