PHYLLOSCOPIN. 225 
trices next to the outermost similar, but with less white on the 
outer webs and more on the tips. 
A conspicuous superciliary streak from the nostril extending 
over the eye to the ear-coverts of a pale buff, or rich cream-color ; 
lores, cheeks, and ear-coverts the same as the crown of the head, but 
of a lighter shade ; the lower parts buffy, varying in shade and in 
warmth of tone in different specimens, but always palest, and in 
some almost white on the chin, the middle of the abdomen, the vent 
and lower tail-coyerts ; sides and flanks slightly infuscated ; axil- 
laries, wing-lining and edge of wing from carpal-joint, cream-colored 
varying in warmth of tinge in different specimens ; lower surface 
of remiges and rectrices brownish-grey. 
The wings hair-brown, as dark as the tail; the primaries and 
secondaries very narrowly, and the coverts and tertiaries broadly, 
margined with rufous or fulvous-brown of the same tone as 
the rufous of the back. 
The Booted Tree Warbler occurs as a cold weather visitant 
both in Sind and in the Deccan,

brown ; legs pale horn-brown. 
Upper parts pale dull olive-brown, clearer on the back in color, 
and rather lighter on the rump; from the base of the bill over 
the eye a rather indistinct yellowish stripe; wing dark-brown ; 
the inner secondaries lighter in color, all the feathers having 
lighter margins; tail dark-brown, very narrowly edged with 
lighter brown; under parts buffy-white; the throat and the

The Pale Tree Warbler only occurs in Sind as a cold weather

Hypolais languida, Hemp. & Ehr. 
5538quat.—Stray Feathers, Vol. VII, p. 398. 
Length, 5°25; wing, 3:1; tail, 2°75; tarsus, 0-9; culmen, 0°75. 
Soft parts as in H. pallida. 
In general coloration of plumage similar to H. pallida, but a 
trifle greyer; bill narrower and more slender; first primary 
much shorter and narrower. First primary scarcely as long as 
the primary-coverts, 1°8 shorter than the second, second 0:2 
shorter than the third, third and fourth about equal. 
This Tree Warbler has been found in Beluchistan, and is 
somewhat doubtfully recorded from Sind. It occurs in the winter 
season only.
