while in some the tippings are almost entirely wanting; the 
back, scapulars, rump, and upper tail-coverts, the same yellowish 
olive-brown, becoming more rufescent on the lower back, rump 
and upper tail-coverts; the feathers of the centre of the back 
with more or less conspicuous dark central shaft streaks. 
In some birds the whole back seems regularly striated with 
dark lines, in others only a few faint darker streaks are visible 
in the very centre of the back; in some, again, the lower back 
is much more decidedly rufous. The wings are hair-brown; the 
primaries very narrowly margined, and tipped on the outer webs, 
paler ; the secondaries and tertiaries and most of the coverts 
more distinctly margined with a sort of rufescent-olive; the 
wing-lining and axillaries pure, or nearly pure white; tail 
feathers somewhat pale hair-brown, obscurely margined with 
rufescent-olive ; the shafts dull white below. 
The Moustached Grass Warbler isa cold weather visitant to 
Sind ; it does not occur elsewhere within our limits.

HuME’s GRASS WARBLER. 
Length, 4 to 42; expanse, 6°25 to 64; tail from vent, 14 to 
16; wing, barely 2 to 2:15; bill at front, 0:27 to 03; tarsus, 0°68 
to 071. 
Bill black, paler or horny-greenish in some at base of lower 
mandible ; irides brown ; legs and feet black. 
The lores are brownish-white ; a comparatively pure and very 
narrow white streak from the nostrils over the lores and eyes, but 
not beyond. 
The whole upper surface is dull earthy-brown, with, in some, 
a faintly olivaceous-rufescent tinge on the back, most con- 
spicuous on the rump; the quills and tail are a moderately dark 
hair-brown, narrowly margined on the outer webs with pale 
olivaceous-brown, much the same color as the upper parts; the 
secondaries are very narrowly margined at the tips with albescent, 
tinged with very pale fulvous-fawn, or earthy-brown, more 
strongly so in some specimens than in others; the sides and flanks 
are pale earthy-brown ; the wing-lining and axillaries are white, 
with at times the faintest possible fulvous or brownish tinge. 
Hume’s Grass Warbler, according to Murray, is a winter visitant 
to Sind, chiefly affecting acacia groves.
