 Reguloides trochiloides, Blyth^ Cat. B. Mus. A. S. Beng. 

 p. 184 (1849). 



Abrornis trochiloides, Bonap. C. G. Av. p. 290 (1850) . 



Bill large, under mandible pale. 



Upper parts greyish brown, dashed all over with yellowish 

 green. Wings and tail greyish brown^ wdth the outside 

 edge of each feather broadly margined with yellowish 

 green. Superciliary streak pale yellow. 



Head darker-coloured than the back, with a distinct pale 

 mesial line. 



Underparts nearly white^, dashed all over, especially on the 

 breast and flanks, with yellow and grey. Axillaries and 

 wing-lining pale yellow. 



Third, fourth, and fifth primaries longest. Sixth rather 

 shorter. Seventh and eighth each considerably shorter 

 than the preceding. Second primary intermediate in 

 length between the seventh and the eighth. 



Exposed part of bastard primary measures "55 to '65. 



First wdng-bar very distinct. Upper bar less distinct. 



Length of wing — male 2'6 to 2'45, female 2'45 to 2'25. 



Length of tail — male 2-15 to 2*0, female 2'0 to 1'9. 



Legs and claws light brown. 



This species appears to have a very limited range. It is 

 supposed to breed in the alpine districts of the South-east 

 Himalayas, and to winter on the north and east shores of the 

 Bay of Bengal. 



It is common in the breeding-seasn at Rogee and Chenee 

 (Ibis, 1869, p. 458). Capt. Beavan found it at Darjeeling 

 (Ibis, 1868, p. 73) . Blyth says that it visits LoAver Bengal in 

 some abundance during the cold season (J. A. S. Beng. xxiii. 

 p. 488) ; and Hume includes it in the list of birds from the 

 Tenasserim provinces (Stray Feathers, ii. p. 478). 



The nest and eggs of this bird are unknown. 



This species apparently difi'ers from the preceding only in 

 being of a darker colour on the upper parts, wdth a more or 

 less distinct upper bar across the w'ing, which is wanting in its 

 near ally.
