This Warbler, according to Gates, is very abundant throughout Pegu in the 

 winter months. It has been obtained in the Karin Hills at 3,500 feet eleva- 

 tion. In Tenasserim, Davison states that it is sparingly distributed throughout 

 the northern and central portions of the division. Captain Bingham found it in 

 the Thoungyeen Valley. Dr. Anderson described it under the name of C. 

 tephrocephalus from the hills to the east of Bhamo. He also found it in Yunnan 

 and in Western China. It leaves Burmah during March and April, but where 

 it goes to is not known ; it is, however, suggested that its breeding haunts are 

 in some part of China.
