tree it is on, it looks like the smallest bird we have here. On ap- 
proaching it, trochilus exhibits but little fear. It hardly seems to 
notice the busy outer world of mortals, and scarce, gives a second 
thought to any one observing it (intently it may be). Its pretty 
little tweeting song is heard frequently in spring, when you will have 
no difficulty in making it out. It is 5 inches in length ; plumage is 
dusky olive-green ; wings and tail with a tawny tinge ; it has a yel- 
low streak over the eyes; below the bird is olive-yellow, on the 
neck, breast and flanks ; abdomen, whitish ; it has a broad wing bar, 
running laterally across the wings (coverts). 
(567) REGULOIDES VIRIDIPENNIS, Green-winged Warbler, is a 
smaller bird than trochilus. In size it is about 4 inches. This War- 
bler is made out by its greener tinge of colour, above; wings and 
tail feathers are edged with bright-green ; crown of the head is 
tinged with green; it also has a broad wing bar. This species is 
fairly rare in Darjeeling. 
Another little bird of this group, which will be, more readily 
distinguished is. 
(568) REGULOIDES EROCHROA, Bar-winged Warbler, it is the 
same size as last species. This little Warbler is made out by its, 
typically marked big rufous bar, turning to yellow as it were ; across 
the wings laterally (greater coverts) a number of other species dis- 
play the same class of wing-bar ; but not so prominently as erochroa ; 
upper plumage of this Warbler isa mingling of dusky green and 
ash ; it has a light streak on centre of the crown ; also sides of the 
head ; a yellow supercilium ; lower back is white, a little yellow on 
the corresponding portion of the body below ; quills are brownish 
black, bordered with greenish yellow ; tail slaty brown with yellowish 
ereen edges to the feathers: some of the outer tail feathers are 
white ; beneath is greenish yellow. 
GENUS CULICIPETA 
Differs from the latter group in haying the bill a little wider, 
depressed and more sleider, culmen distinct ; rictal bristles deve- 
loped ; claws longer and not so curved. 
(569) CuLicipeta Burkul, lack-browed MWearbler, this bird is 
difficult to find at times, as they are shy and slip quickly away out 
of sight when approached. In spring they visit Darjeeling in big 
numbers, when they. are more frequently observed. These Warblers 
build about this elevation. Their nests are more difticult to find, 
as they are usually tixed to thick mosses growing on /the sides of
