noted, will be retained because it appears earlier on the same page 
than that of sinlumensis. 
Nidification. The two specimens sent by Col. Harington to the 
British Museum were shot when building their nest in low scrub- 
jungle at the edge of dense forest. 
Habits. Jn epistola Col. Harington says that they are the same 
determined little skulkers as the Sinlum Wren, with similar 
haunts, habits and voice.

Urocichla reptata Bingham, Bull. B. O. C., xiii, p. 5A (1903) (Loi-

Vernacular names. None recorded. 
Description. Similar to stnlumensis but with wings more cinna- 
mon-chestnut, below all grey with no white on throat and breast 
and with the dark bars and paler spots obsolete; the sides of 
breast and flanks are more rufous. 
Colours of soft parts. “Iris crimson; bill dark brown; le 
and feet brown” (Forrest). 
Measurements. Wing 47 mm.; tail damaged ; tarsus 20 mm.; 
culmen 13 mm. 
Distribution. East of Kengtung on the Mekong Valley at about 
7,000 feet and on the Shweli-Salwin Divide in Yunnan. 
Nidification and Habits. Nothing recorded and only one speci- 
men obtained by Harington and a second by Forrest in Yunnan 
at about 8,000 feet in December 1919 in a thicket. Nests and 
eggs sent me by a collector from Thoungyi, Southern Shan States, 
are probably of this race but the birds’ skins sent are too frag- 
mentary to distinguish with any certainty. The nests are exactly 
like those of the Assam Long-tailed Wren, as are the eggs which 
measure 18°5 x 14°9 mm. 
The two clutches, each of three slightly incubated eggs, were 
taken on the 16th and 28th April respectively.
