blotched, streaked or spotted with red-brown; these markings 
sometimes form a zone at the large end. Occasionally the 
eggs are of a greenish-white colour; they measure 0°64 inches 
in length, by 0°45 in breadth. 
GeENvs, Prinia, Horsfield. 
Bill moderately long, very slender, straight, entire; rictal 
bristles distinct; tail much graduated, rather long, of ten or 
twelve feathers; feet much as in Orthotomus.

THE YELLOW-BELLIED WREN WARBLER. 
Length, 5°25 ; expanse, 6°3; wing, 1°87; tail, 2:9 ; tarsus, 0°75 ; 
bill at front, 0°5. 
Bill black, fleshy at base beneath ; irides reddish-yellow ; legs 
deep yellow. 
Head, with lores and ear-coverts, dark ashy; back, wings, and 
tail, dull olive-green; the quills dusky-brown ; chin, throat, and 
breast, white; the abdomen, vent, and under tail-coverts, bright 
canary-yellow. 
The Yellow-bellied Wren Warbler is a permanent resident 
in Sind, where it breeds from June to September. The nest is 
tailor-bird like, but the eggs are bright brick-red without 
spots. 
It has not been recorded from any other portion of the 
district. 
Prinia adamsi, Jerdon.

THE WHITE-BELLIED WREN WARBLER. 
Bill black ; legs yellow. 
Above greenish, the tail tipped with white; cheeks, throat, 
and breast, whitish-yellow ; belly and vent white, tinged with 
yellow ; tail long, graduated ; legs long. 
The White-bellied Wren Warbler is not, I believe, a good 
species. Dr. Adams stated that he found it at Poona in the 
corn-fields. No one else seems ever to have met with it.
