TEEE WAEBLEES. 301 



sides pale grey, with a yellowish tinge ; legs and beak 

 lead coloured; whitish feathers on the edges of the 

 eyelids ; iris red-brown. 



Is met with as far up at least as Quickiock, Lapland. Is 

 more common everywhere than the last. 



79. S. CINEEEA, Lath. Gra Sangare. The White Throat. 



D. F. 



About the size of the last ; top of the head cinereous; 

 back, and wing coverts, grey-brown ; throat and belly 

 pure white; breast pale rose red (which is wanting in 

 the female) ; legs brown -yellow ; iris nut brown ; all 

 the inner wing feathers, and the larger coverts are 

 broadly edged with rusty yellow, and this will distin- 

 guish the bird at all seasons. First wing feather 

 shorter than nearest covert, second like the fourth. 

 About as common as the last, but I do not think it goes 

 so far north. 



80. S. CUEEUCA, Lath. Art Sangare. The Lesser White- 



throat. D. F. 



Scarcely so large as the last, which it rather resem- 

 bles, but the wings want the rusty, and the breast 

 the rosy tinge ; head and rump ash grey, under parts 

 silvery white ; shoulders ash grey ; legs dark lead 

 coloured. First wing feather longer than the nearest 

 covert, second like sixth, third longest. 



About as common and widely spread as the last. 



81. S. NISOEIA, Bechst. Brostvattrad Sangare. D. F. 



The largest of all the northern warblers. About 7 in. 

 long ; body colour above dark ash grey, white below 

 with brown-grey wavy bars or streaks ; tail feathers 

 grey-brown, the two outer ones with a white spot on 

 the point of the inner fan. The male becomes much 

 darker after the breeding season. Legs grey; eye 

 bright yellow. Excellently figured by Dr. Bree as the 

 " barred warbler."
